talletamise

Talletamine is an Estonian term that refers to the act of depositing or storing something. The word is formed from the verb talletama (to deposit or to store) and the -mine suffix, which creates a noun describing an action. In Estonian usage, talletamine can denote the deposit of money as well as the storage or safekeeping of data, documents, or other assets.

In finance, talletamine primarily means depositing funds into an account, such as a bank or savings account. This can involve cash deposits, checks, or electronic transfers that increase the account balance. The deposited funds are typically governed by the terms of the account and may earn interest depending on the product.

In information technology and records management, talletamine refers to the storage and retention of information. This includes digital backups, archiving of files, and data retention practices intended to protect information, ensure accessibility, and meet regulatory or organizational requirements. The concept encompasses both short-term storage and long-term preservation.

Legal and regulatory contexts often impose talletamise obligations on institutions. Banks and other custodians may be required to document talletusi and maintain records of deposits, while organizations establish talletus policies specifying how long records are kept and how they are protected from loss or unauthorized access. The term is thus versatile and understood across financial and data-handling domains.

Related terms include talletus (deposit), talletaja (depositor or custodian), and säilitamine (preservation or retention) in a broader sense.
