    The Interest tab displays.

    To calculate interest for an account, an interest product code must be applied to the account. Note that each interest product code that you create is associated with an interest rule. The logic for calculating interest is integrated in the interest rule. When you apply an interest product code on the account, interest is calculated for the account according to the interest rule definition.

    Select the product(s) that applies to the account for which you are defining special conditions. Note that you can define special conditions for an account only if the account class of the account has general conditions defined for the product. Therefore, a pick-list that selects products that define special conditions includes products that meet any of the following conditions:
    • General Condition is defined for the product and account class combinations
    • The product is defined as special-conditions-only product.

    The interest rule associated with the product(s) determines the interest that applies to the account. You may want to apply multiple interest product codes to your account. For example, you can pay credit interest on the balance of a current account and charge debit interest when the account lapses into a debit balance. To achieve this, you need to use two product codes (one for credit interest and one for debit interest). This screen allows you to select the interest product codes that apply to your account.
