 Creation of Interest Conditions

When you create an interest condition, you need to specify its calculation methods. The following settings are available:

  • Interest method

    You specify an interest calculation method .

  • Linear interest calculation

    If you do not select the field for exponential interest calculation, the system calculates the interest as follows:

    Amount = calculation base amount x percentage rate / 100 x days / base days

  • Exponential interest calculation

    If youselect the field for exponential interest calculation, the system calculates the interest as follows:

    Amount = calculation base amount * ( q** (days / base days) - 1)

    where

    q = 1 + percentage rate / 100 (compounding factor).

When you create a transaction interest condition, you can specify an allowance for which no transaction interest is calculated.

When you create an overdraft interest condition , you can use the Additional Debit Interest indicator to calculate the interest that you defined in the condition in addition to the debit interest defined for the account.

When you create an interest penalty condition you can define the number of days for which the interest penalty is to be calculated in the Calculation Method of Interest Penalty field. The 90 and 900 day methods are implemented.
