Deposit Account Minimum Balance Service Charge

Your deposit account will incur this service charge when your balance falls below the minimum average daily balance.

Important information

  • To avoid incurring the Service Charge, ensure that your account meets the Minimum Average Daily Balance.
  • Average Daily Balance is the total amount of daily balances in your account divided by the number of days in the month.


    • Your account has a day-end balance of $200 daily from 1 to 10 July, so total amount of daily balances for 10 days is:
      $200 x 10 Days = $2,000.
    • Your account has a day-end balance of $300 daily from 11 to 20 July, so total amount of daily balances for 10 days is:
      $300 x 10 Days = $3,000.
    • Your account has a day-end balance of $1,000 daily from 21 to 31 July, so total amount of daily balances for 11 days is:
      $1,000 x 11 Days = $11,000
    • Total amount of daily balances for 31 days in July is:
      $2,000 + $3,000 + $11,000 = $16,000
    • Average Daily Balance is therefore: $16,000 divide by 31 (number of days in the month) = $516.13
