Definitions Used in Monthly Calculations
|
Average Collected Balance
Usable balances from deposits that have been collected from your customer's bank.
Reserve Requirement
Federal Regulations require that all banks hold a reserve equivalent of 10% of their total checking account collected balances in a non-interest bearing account.
Earnings Credit Balance
This is determined by subtracting the 10% reserve requirement from the average collected balance. This balance is used to compute the earnings credit.
Earnings Credit Rate
Federal Regulations prohibit banks from paying interest on corporate checking accounts. Banks, however, are allowed to offer a non-cash earnings credit based on the company's balances to help offset service charges. The earnings credit rate is based on a four week average of the 90-day Federal Treasury Bill rate, less 1.00%, and can change monthly.
