活期 (huó qī) — (adjective, banking) current, checking, demand (referring to accounts or deposits that can be withdrawn at any time)

Definition

活期 is a banking term meaning 'current / checking / demand' — used only for accounts or deposits you can withdraw from anytime, not 'current' in the sense of 'now' (现在) or 'in effect' (现行). Its opposite is 定期 ('fixed-term, time deposit').
