Example documentationExample: Charge for Balance Transfer Relationship

 

You can levy a one-off charge for the provision of a balance transfer relationship consisting of one funded account and one (or more) funding accounts. Before the system calculates a charge, you must have stored a corresponding condition type in the financial conditions of the master contract.

If you add an account in the role of funding account as participant to a master contract with the Balance Transfer feature, this event triggers a charge calculation and posting.
