Spanish term or phrase: Inversiones a la vista

En la mayoría de las páginas Web de bancos aparecen inversiones de dos tipos: a plazo y a la vista.
Sé que inversiones a plazo son "term investments". ¿Qué son inversiones a la vista en inglés? Encontré esta definición:
Inversiones a la vista son aquellas en las que el dinero está disponible todo el tiempo, es decir, no hay un tiempo mínimo de inversión, sino que la persona se puede salir cuando quiere.
¿Cómo se dice en inglés? ¿Liquid investments?
