Currency deposited by national governments or corporations in banks outside their home market. This applies to any currency and to banks in any country. For example, South Korean won deposited at a bank in South Africa, is considered eurocurrency.

Also known as "euromoney".

Investopedia Says:
Having "euro" doesn't mean that the transaction has to involve European countries. However, in practice, European countries are often involved.

Money deposited by corporations and national governments in banks away from their home countries, called Eurobanks. The terms Eurocurrency and Eurobanks do not necessarily mean the currencies or the banks are European, though more often than not, that is the case. For instance, dollars deposited in a British bank or Japanese Yen deposited in a bank in South Africa are considered to be Eurocurrency. The Eurodollar is only one of the Eurocurrencies, though it is the most prevalent. Also known as Euromoney.
