What this measures
Depositors with commercial banks are the reported number of deposit account holders, including both resident non-financial corporations (both public and private) and individuals from the household sector, at commercial banks within the reporting jurisdiction for every 1,000 adults. The major types of deposits are checking accounts, savings accounts, and time deposits.
Limitations: For many countries data cover the total number of deposit accounts due to lack of information on account holders.
Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a median.
