Fixed Deposit

A deposit account is a saving product that offers the possibility to the customer to place an amount of money for a period of time initially established. Banking Product comes with a dedicated product, called Deposit.

Deposit Interest Calculation

The interest calculation depends on the contract and banking product configuration.

If the DepositAggregateItemValues Core Banking system parameter's value is set to False, the system recovers the entire interest paid until that moment and after that the sight interest from the beginning until the transaction date is paid (if a sight interest is configured on the banking product).

If the DepositAggregateItemValues Core Banking system parameter's value is set to True, the system recovers the difference between the paid interest and the sight interest that should be paid (if there is a sight interest configured on the banking product).

The interest to recover affects the deposit amount or the interest amount, depending on the deposit banking product configuration: with interest capitalization or not, with interest payment on the maturity date or on a specific interval.

If the deposit is without capitalization, which means the interest is paid in the Current Account, in case a withdrawal transaction occurs, the interest already paid is recovered from the deposit amount.

For example, if a deposit is open for a period of 3 months with a monthly interest payment and the customer orders a withdrawal after the first month, the interest already paid in the Current Account is recovered from the deposit amount.

If the deposit is with capitalization, the interest is paid in the deposit account, so in case a withdrawal occurs, the interest is recovered from the deposit amount containing the initial value + the interest already paid, which means the initial amount is not affected.
