Question: For newly created deposit arrangements, the Bank wants a way to identify the number of days that the deposit has not been funded. Is it possible ?
Answer: Define Overdue condition where 'Expected' is the Bill Type
Question: The Bank has set a Cancel Period of '5D' for their deposit products. In view that the deposit has not been funded after the 5 days, the user reported to TEMENOS that the status of the deposit is now 'Pending Closure'. The Bank wants to know when will the deposit status become 'Close'
Answer: Depends on the Closure condition
Question: The standard interest rate of the deposit product is LIBOR - 0.5%. However, on exceptional cases, the Bank wants to be able to offer an additional margin rate of + 0.3%, on top of the standard LIBOR - 0.5%. The Bank wants to be able to capture the 3 interest components in separate fields so that they can design reports or advices to explicitly show that the interest applied to the deposit is LIBOR - 0.5% + 0.3% and not LIBOR - 0.2%. Is this possible ?
Answer: Multi value the MARGIN.TYPE field in INTEREST condition
Question: Deposit is for one year. Tax has been defined for deposit interest. On the payment schedule, only deposit interest has been scheduled to pay out every month.

Question: The Bank wishes to make use of AA Deposit module to introduce an investment type of deposit. This deposit will yield higher interest rates than standard fixed deposit. For instance, for a 1-month investment deposit products, it will use 6 month's LIBOR rate. For 3-month investment deposit, it will use 12 month's LIBOR rate. The Bank would like to store such LIBOR rates in an interest reference table. Can we design this product in AA Deposit module ?
Answer: Possible. Define LIBOR rates in Periodic Interest table. Bank can create the various investment products based on the duration. In their respective interest condition, define the periodic interest key. Furthermore, in the PERIODIC.PERIOD field, specify the actual duration tier that the interest rate is to be derived from the periodic interest table
Question: The Bank defines their LIBOR rates in the Periodic Interest table where rates are downloaded from Reuters. Reuters have term rates for 1 month, 6 month, 12 months and 18 months. Past data has shown that rates are always higher for longer duration compared to the shorter duration. The Bank's policy is such that they will always pay at the lower tiered rate if the requested deposit duration do not have an exact match with the durations mentioned on the periodic table. For example, if a customer wants a 2 months deposit, the system will need to retrieve the 1 month's rate. Is this possible to achieve this requirement in AA ?
Answer: Yes, we can define PREVIOUS as the PERIODIC.METHOD in Interest condition
Question: The Bank wants to have IBAN number generated automatically for AA deposits. How can we set this up in AA ?
Answer: In ACCOUNT condition, define YES for GENERATE.IBAN attribute
Question: The Bank informed TEMENOS that in the event that their relationship managers use the Charge Override functionality to waive fees (fully or partially) at the arrangement level, the net chargeable amount will be booked to the defined charge P&L category. This is the default setting for all fees. However, if the waiver is for a particular 'CHGINTRATE' fee, the system needs to book the original fee amount and the waiver amount to separate P&L categories. Hence, 2 separate accounting entries
Answer: Possible. In ACCOUNTING conditon, define 'NET' as the value for DEF.CHG.OVR.METHOD attribute. Then, define 'CHGINTRATE' as the CHG.OVR.PROPERTY with the CHG.OVR.METHOD mentioned as 'ITEMISED'
Question: The Bank informed TEMENOS that they allow customers to partially withdraw from a particular deposit product but customer has to pay a fee. For the first withdrawal, they charge USD 100. For the second withdrawal, they charge USD 200. For any subsequent withdrawals, they charge USD 500 each time. Is it possible to create this type of product ?
Answer: Yes possible. Define tier counts in charge condition and 'count' as the source type for this fee
