A common financial term for "Loan" & "Deposit"

I'm working on a computer system that tracks Loans and Deposits this company makes. They are very similar things in that they have maturity dates, interest rates etc, they're just opposites - money in for interest paid (Loan) or money out for interest earned (Deposit).

I was wondering if there is a single financial term for the 'coin' that these two things appears to be opposite sides of?

thanks

Thanks Jon and John.

In this company a "Contract" has another more legal-specific meaning.

I think "Account" is a little generic as they also have transaction or working accounts with daily deposits / withdrawals. The Loan and Term Deposits may need an additional adjective .. Term Account, Contract Account maybe.

There may well not be a specific term but suggestions still welcome.

Thanks
