Morphology
The meaning 'money placed in a bank' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'bank' (financial institution) with 'deposit' (a sum placed or saved). This compositional pattern is common across languages and follows standard noun + noun phrase formation, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Bank deposit paints a simple picture: you bring money to a bank and deposit it—literally put it into the bank's safe or your account to keep. That's why bank deposit means 'money placed in a bank for safekeeping or future withdrawal'.
