Morphology

redeposit = deposit (transparent) = re + deposit

The prefix 're-' clearly adds the meaning 'again' to the familiar banking verb 'deposit'.

Etymology

Redeposit is made of re- ('again') and deposit ('to put money or something in a safe place like a bank'), so to redeposit is to put money or a cheque into your account again.
