This field controls the timing of renewal notices for maturing certificates. Enter the number of days’ notice you would like to give members before a CD account matures or renews (30 days is common). At that time, an appropriate Member Notice will be generated to alert the member of the status of his or her account. (NOTE: Prior to January 2008, if this was set to less than 30 days, the system sent a renewal notice at 30 days anyway. This has been changed so that you can use a shorter notice period, such as 14 days, if you wish.)

This setting controls how the Available Balance amount is calculated for line of credit loans (Application Type OC.) If checked, any accrued interest due will be included when calculating the amount available to be disbursed from the account, as follows:

Disbursement Limit - (Current Balance + Accrued Interest) = Available Balance

If unchecked, the calculation does not subtract any interest due from the available amount:

Disbursement Limit - Current Balance = Available Balance

This flag controls the payment of Marketing Club benefits on loan accounts. If your credit union uses loan rate benefits for members of Marketing Clubs, you can choose to post accrued benefits back to the loan account (reducing the loan balance), or to a share dividend application.

Leave the field blank to post to the loan account. Enter a Dividend Application code to post to a share type account.
