An open repurchase agreement (also known as on-demand reverse repurchase agreement) works in the same way as a term deposit, except that the merchant and counterparty accept the transaction without setting the due date. On the contrary, the negotiation may be terminated by either party by notifying the other party before an agreed daily deadline.

When state central banks buy securities back from private banks, they do so at a reduced interest rate known as the reverse repurchase rate. Like key interest rates, repo rates are set by central banks. The reverse repurchase rate system allows governments to control the money supply within economies by increasing or decreasing the funds available. A reduction in reverse repurchase rates encourages banks to resell securities to the government in exchange for cash. This increases the amount of money available to the economy in general.
