Pre-Funded Customer Interest
The DDM Program operates on a month-end customer interest posting cycle. However, a Sending Institution can choose, during Implementation & Onboarding, if it wishes to pay customer interest when a Customer closes an account mid-month. If they choose to do this, they must "pre-fund" the accrued interest to facilitate an immediate payout.
Mid-Month Account Closures
Since Receiving Institutions only post customer interest at the end of the calendar month, any interest that a Sending Institution wishes to pay to a Customer at the time of a mid-month closure is funded by the Sending Institution.
Reporting
Any accrued pre-funded interest is displayed on the Daily Net Settlement Report for tracking and reconciliation.
Netting Logic
R&T simplifies the settlement process by netting any pre-funded interest receivables against any pre-funded interest payable amounts.
Settlement
The final netted amount is settled at month-end, ensuring that the Sending Institution is reimbursed for any interest advanced to customers during the month.
