# Deposit strategy 

Use deposit strategies to set rules on deposit amounts and on which customers they are presented to in a hosted deposit, based on currency, customer segmentation (tags), or prior deposit behavior.

To learn more about how the hosted deposit works, see [Hosted deposit workflow](/docs/settings/deposit#hosted-deposit-workflow).
