Orig. saving bank, also savings' bank.
[f. savings pl. (see saving vbl. n. 2) + bank n.3]
An institution for encouraging thrift, by receiving small deposits at interest.
In the United Kingdom the principal institution of this kind is now the National Savings Bank, a government-owned organization whose services are available at post office counters, formerly known as the post office Savings Bank. Trustee Savings Banks were originally designed for the small investor and were managed by unpaid trustees (under the control of the National Debt Commissioners) but have now become a public limited company offering the full range of banking services and retaining only the abbreviated title TSB.
