The Savings Deposit Program (SDP), administered by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS), offers a guaranteed 10 percent return on up to $10,000 in savings—a rate that far exceeds traditional savings accounts. The program was designed to provide members of the uniformed services in designated combat zones an opportunity to build their financial savings.
