  10. Drafts • Similar to a money order except that they are only issued by financial institutions and are usually for larger dollar amounts • Jut like cash so the recipient has instant access to the money • Bank does not place a hold on the money

Night Depository • Usually a chute or other facility at the bank • Allows customers to make deposit or drop off paperwork 24/7 • Businesses do not have to hold on to large deposits and wait for bank to open • Decreases risk of theft • Place deposit in a locked pouch and then place in the chute • Bank employee removes the money from the chute during regular business hours
