Adding Card Account Product

  1. From Card menu, click Settings, and then Card accountproduct. The Card Account Product Search page appears. All Card account products available in Aura appear on the page.

  1. Click Add. New Product -- Profile page appears.

  1. Select Type of Credit card account from the available drop-down list of Product. Click "New" or "Copy from existing" radio button option for the Type selected.

  2. Enter Code for the product. This has to be unique for the Entity.

  3. Enter Description for the Product.

  4. Select option for Available for field. This will determine the type of clients to which the product will be available. You can choose from:

    Personal -- Single person

    Corporate -- Organization

    Joint -- Group of two or more persons

    Employee -- Employee of the Bank.

Thus, if you want the Product to be available only for organizations, click only on the Corp orate checkbox.

Note: Employee and Joint ownership checkboxes will be enabled only when you select Personal.

  1. Click Next. New Card Account Product -- Currency (1/11) page appears.

  1. Select Currency for the Product from the dropdown list of GL Currencies. More currencies can be added during Edit using the Currency tab, once the Product record is created. Accounts for the product can be opened only in the selected currencies.

  2. Enter Minimum balance that has to be maintained in accounts under the Product.

  3. Click Next. New Card Account Product -- Settings (2/11) page appears.

  1. Click Yes or No radio button for IBAN generation required for New Card Account Product. During account creation under the Product, if this has been selected as Yes, Aura will automatically create IBAN according to the IBAN format maintained at the Entity level.

  2. Enter Account dormancy days for the Product. It is the number of days beyond which the account will be treated as dormant, if there are no activities in that account.

  3. Select Balance check field as required from the available list.

    • Allow only credit balance ­­-- If you select Allow only credit balance, then Aura will allow only credit balance for that account. If a transaction would result in a debit balance, and if this account allows only credit balance, the transaction will fail.
  • Allow only debit balance -- If you select Allow only debit balance, then Aura will allow only debit balance for that account. If a transaction would result in a credit balance, and if this account allows only debit balance, the transaction will fail.

  • Allow both -- If you select Allow both, then Aura will allow both credit and debit balances for that account.

  1. Enter Approved Cash Limit%. This is the percentage of the Credit Limit that will be available as the Cash Limit for the account. The Cash Limit% should be between 0 and 100. By default, 100% will get displayed and you can edit it as required.

  2. Amount required is the minimum amount that the customer has to pay to avoid overdue interest or any overdue-related charges / status changes. The following options are available:

  • Partial Amount: If you want the customer to pay only a part amount of the total outstanding amount due for payment, choose this option. If you choose partial amount here, then Aura will ask to enter the percentage of the outstanding amount.

  • Total Due Amount: If you want the customer to pay the total outstanding amount due for payment, choose this option.

  1. If Partial amount is selected in the Amount required field above, % of total outstanding will be enabled. Enter the % of total outstanding amount that needs to be paid on the payment due date.

  2. If Partial amount is selected in the Amount required field above, Rounding rule will be enabled. This rule is used to round the Amount required. The following options are available:

  • Up: This option rounds the Amount required up to a higher amount.

  • Down: This option rounds the amount required down to a lower amount.

  • None: This option does not round the amount required and gives the exact calculated figure.

  1. If Partial amount is selected in the Amount required field above, Rounding unit is enabled. You can specify how much the rounding rule should be applied. The available options are:
  • 1

  • 5

  • 10

  • 50

  • 100

Example:

If total balance is (-) 3427.60 and % of total outstanding is 5% and

Round up is marked as 1, and then amount required will be calculated as 172.

Round up is marked as 10, and then amount required will be calculated as 180.

Round up is marked as 100, and then amount required will be calculated as 200.

Note: The Amount required cannot be greater than the total balance outstanding in the account. If it is so during invoice generation, then the total balance outstanding becomes the Amount required.

  1. Enter Minimum amount for the partial payment. If the amount calculated using the % is less than the Minimum amount specified here, then, the Minimum amount specified here becomes the Amount required.

Examples:

a. Amount required is 5 % of balance, minimum 10. Total card usage and hence, outstanding = 150. Amount required = 5% of 150 = 7.5, subject to minimum of 10, and hence, 10

b. Amount required is 5% of balance, minimum 10. Total card usage and hence outstanding = 300. Amount required = 5% of 300 = 15, subject to minimum of 10 and hence, 15.

  1. Include Over limit in % calculation enables you to specify how the amount required is to be calculated when the account balance is over limit. By default, it will be No which means the over limit amount will be added in full; if checked, the over limit will be included in the % calculation and the amount required will be a % of the current due amount (including over limit).

Example 1

Amount required: 5% of total outstanding, minimum amount: 0, rounding up to 100. Account Limit: 10000

If total outstanding is 5000

Amount required = 5% of 5000 = 250, rounded up to [300.]

Example 2

Amount required: 5% of total outstanding, minimum amount: 100, rounding up to 0.
Account Limit: 10 000

If total outstanding is 1000

Amount required = 5% of 1000 = 50, subject to minimum amount and hence, [100].

Example 3

Amount required: 5% of total outstanding, minimum amount: 100, rounding up to 0.
Account Limit: 10 000

If total outstanding is 95

Amount required = 5% of 95 = 4.75, subject to minimum amount of 100. However, since the total outstanding is only 95, amount required will be 95.

Example 4

Amount required: 5% of total outstanding, minimum amount: 100, rounding up to 0. Include Overlimitin%calculationisNo
Account Limit: 10 000

If total outstanding is 11000

Amount required = 5% of 10000 = 500 plus amount over limit 1000 = 1500.

  1. Select the Amount requested from the preshipped values. If Total due amount is selected in the Amount required field, then Amount Requested will be defaulted to Total due amount and disabled. If the user chooses Partial amount in the Amount required field, then Amount Requested can be either Total due amount or Partial Amount.

  2. Select option for when the Payment is due using the Payment due on.

The following table shows how the Payment due on is arrived at for each of the options. In this table, the Start date and End date for the cycle is taken as 26-Apr-13 and 25-May-13 respectively and X days is taken as 5 days.

SlOption ChosenPayment Due On

2End of month31-May-13

4Next end of cycle25-Jun-13
5Next end of month30-Jun-13 -- but, since this is
beyond Next End of Cycle (i.e.,
25-Jun-13), Payment due on will
be 25-Jun-13

25-Jun-13), Payment due on will
be 25-Jun-13

If option 11 is chosen above, Interest receivable Liquidation frequency options Daily and Monthly will be disabled.

Note: During every Invoice generation, if Payment due date is greater than next EOC, Payment due date will be taken as the next EOC. Similarly, if during invoice generation, if Payment due date falls within the same cycle, Payment due date will be taken as the current EOC date. This will be the case even if the Fix Payment Date at account level is marked Yes.

Also, the actual Payment Due Date will be in conjunction with the Invoice generation date (i.e., the Debit Interest liquidation date). For example, if the Frequency is quarterly and the Payment due on is Last business day of month, the payment due date for the invoice generated during March 2013 will be 29th Mar 2013, assuming 30th and 31st Mar are holidays.

  1. If you have selected options 7 to 11 above, you need to specify the number of Days to be taken for the Payment due date calculation and also indicate if the number days should be taken as calendar days or business days.

  2. Indicate Holiday Preference for the Payment due date calculated using the above values.

Following options are available:

  • Ignore: If the Payment due date falls on a holiday, and you still want to retain that date as the payment due date, choose Ignore. For Example, if the Payment due date is 25^th^ Dec which is a holiday and you have chosen Ignore, the payment due date will still remain 25^th^ Dec.

  • Next Business Day: If the Payment due date falls on a holiday, and you want to move it to the next business day, choose this option. In our above example, if this option is chosen, the Payment due date would be 26^th^ Dec.

  • Previous Business Day: If the Payment due date falls on a holiday, and you want to move it to the previous business day, choose this option. In our above example, if this option is chosen, the Payment due date would be 24^th^ Dec.

  1. Grace days enables you to provide a few additional days for the customer to make his payment; and if the customer makes the payment by the end of the Grace days period, the payment is considered as having been received by the Payment due date. Enter the required number of Grace days and indicate if these days should be calendar days / business days.

Note: If payment is made within the grace days, even if it is after the payment due date, the payment is not treated as overdue and associated charges / interest is not applied. If payment is not received within the payment date + grace days, then overdue interest accrual starts from the payment due date onwards.

  1. Indicate Holiday preference for end of grace days calculated using the above values. If Grace days is business days, then this field will be disabled. In case of calendar days, indicate if the end of grace days arrived at is a holiday, whether it should not be moved / moved to next / previous working day.

  2. Click Next. New Card Account Product -- Interest Payable (3/11) page appears.

  1. Select Interest scheme for Interest on the accounts under this product from the drop-down list. Interest schemes should have been created under Admin > System Codes > Interest > Interest Scheme.

  2. Select Frequency for interest payable accrual from the drop-down list. Available options are: Monthly, Quarterly, Semi-annual and Annual.

  3. If you select a frequency other than daily, you need to specify when the Interest has to be liquidated (capitalized) in the Interest Liquidation date. It is the date on which the interest will be posted to the accounts under this product. Available options are:

  • Day: If you want the interest to be liquidated on a specific date of the calendar month, choose this option. You need to then specify the day in the Day field.

  • Last Calendar day: If you want the interest to be liquidated on the last calendar day of the selected frequency instead of the specified date, choose this option.

  • Last Business day: If you want the interest to be liquidated on the last business day, then choose this option.

  • X days before last calendar day: If you want the interest to be liquidated x days before the last calendar day, then choose this option.

  • X days before last business day: If you want the interest to be liquidated x days before the last business day, then choose the option.

Note:

  • If Frequency is Monthly

    • If 31 is chosen and if the month has 30 days interest will be liquidated on 30th of the month

    • If 30 is chosen and if the month has 31 days interest will be liquidated on 30th of the month

  • If Frequency is quarterly, semi-annual or annual, the 'Day' parameter is interpreted in the same way as month; however, the month will be

    • March, June, September and December -- if it is quarterly,

    • June and December -- if it is semi-annual.

    • December -- if it is annual

  1. If Interest liquidation date is selected as X days before last calendar day or x days before last business day, you need to then specify the value for the X in the Number of days field and also indicate if these days are calendar days or business days. The number of days field is available twice so that you can specify the interest liquidation date as: 5 business days before 2 calendar days before last calendar day.

  2. If the interest liquidation date so arrived at is a holiday, specify how it should be treated using the Holiday preference. The options are:

  • Ignore: If this option is chosen, then the holiday will be ignored, and interest will be liquidated on same day. This is the default option selected.

  • Next business day: If this option is chosen, then interest will be liquidated on the next business day.

  • Previous business day: If this option is chosen, then interest will be liquidated on previous business day.

  1. You can specify the balance amount on which the Interest payable is to be accrued using the On balance drop down list. Available options are: Daily and Period end. Based on the selected-On balance and Frequency, Aura accrues the interest. If you select the Frequency as Daily, then the On balance will be defaulted to Daily and you will not be allowed to select other options. Accrual and Liquidation will be either daily or period end.

  2. Select Balance amount type from the drop-down list. It can be Book dated balance or Value dated balance. Based on the choice, the interest will be calculated on the chosen balance.

  3. Select Payment day for the Interest payable from the drop-down list. Based on this, and the Number of days (next field), the date on which the interest will be paid to the accounts under this product is determined. Available options are On Liquidation day and Liquidation + n day. The latter will be allowed only on selecting the frequency as Monthly or Quarterly or Semi-annual or Annual.

  4. Enter Number of days after which the liquidated interest is to be paid. This field will be enabled only on selecting Payment day as Liquidation plus n day.

  • If Frequency is Daily, Payment day can be only On Liquidation day and hence, this field is disabled.

  • If Frequency is Monthly, Payment day can be either of the options and hence this field is enabled. You need to enter the number of days between 1 and 30.

  • If Frequency is any other option, Payment day can be either of the options and hence this field is enabled. You need to enter the number of days between 1 and 90.

  1. Select Currency for the minimum / maximum threshold for Interest from the drop-down list of GL currencies for the Entity.

  2. Select Currency rate type for the minimum / maximum threshold for Interest. The interest will be accrued in terms of the Account Currency and will be converted into the equivalent amount in terms of the above Currency using this Currency Rate Type, as on the date of Liquidation.

  3. Enter Minimum interest to pay. Aura will liquidate the interest to the account only if the accrued interest is greater than or equal to this amount.

  4. Click Next. New Card Account Product -- Interest Receivable (4/11) page appears.

  1. Select Interest scheme (within limit) from the drop-down list. This interest scheme will be used to calculate the interest receivable up to the approved limit for the default balance class for accounts under this product. Interest schemes should have been created under Admin > System Codes > Interest > Interest Scheme.

  2. Select Interest scheme (over limit) from the drop-down list. In case the balance of any account under this product goes beyond the limit specified for the account, the interest receivable on such over limit amount will be calculated using this Interest scheme. Interest schemes should have been created under Admin > System Codes > Interest > Interest Scheme.

  3. Select Interest Scheme (Overdue) from the drop-down list. This interest scheme will be used to calculate the interest receivable on the overdue amounts -- i.e., where the payment by due date + grace days does not cover the Amount required.

  4. Select Frequency for the Interest Receivable accrual from the drop-down list. Available options are: Monthly, Quarterly, Semi-annual and Annual.

  5. If you select a frequency other than daily, you need to specify when the Interest has to be liquidated (capitalized) in the Interest Liquidation date. It is the date on which the interest will be posted to the accounts under this product. Available options are as follows:

  • Day: If you want the interest to be liquidated on a specific date of the calendar month, choose this option. You need to then specify the day in the Day field.
  • Last Calendar Day: If you want the interest to be liquidated on the last calendar day of the selected frequency instead of the specified date, choose this option.

  • Last Business day: If you want the interest to be liquidated on the last business day, then choose this option.

  • X days before last calendar day: If you want the interest to be liquidated x days before the last calendar day, then choose this option.

  • X days before last business day: If you want the interest to be liquidated x days before the last business day, then choose the option.

Note:

  • If frequency is Monthly

    • If 31 is chosen and if the month has 30 days interest will be liquidated on 30th of the month

    • If 30 is chosen and if the month has 31 days interest will be liquidated on 30th of the month

  • If frequency is quarterly, semi-annual or annual, the 'Day' parameter is interpreted in the same way as month; however, the month will be

    • March, June, September and December -- if it is quarterly,

    • June and December -- if it is semi-annual

    • December -- if it is annual

  1. If Interest liquidation date is selected as X days before last calendar day or X days before last business day, you need to then specify the value for the X in the Number of days field and also indicate if these days are calendar days or business days. The number of days field is available twice so that you can specify the interest liquidation date as: 5 business days before 2 calendar days before last calendar day

  2. If interest liquidation date so arrived at is a holiday, specify how it should be treated using the Holiday preference. The options are:

  • Ignore: If this option is chosen, then the holiday will be ignored, and interest will be liquidated on same day. This is the default option selected.

  • Next business day: If this option is chosen, then interest will be liquidated on the next business day.

  • Previous business day: If this option is chosen, then interest will be liquidated on previous business day

  1. You can specify the balance amount on which the Interest receivable is to be accrued using the On balance drop down list. Available options are: Daily and Period end. Based on the selected-On balance and Frequency, Aura accrues the interest. If you select the Frequency as Daily, then the On balance will be defaulted to Daily and Aura will not allow you to select other options. Accrual and Liquidation will be either daily or period end.

  2. Select Balance amount type from the drop-down list. It can be Book Dated balance or Value dated balance. Based on the choice, the interest will be calculated on the chosen balance.

  3. Select the Treatment for reversals from the preshipped values. The options are as follows:

  • Do not consider reversals as payment: If you select this option the reversal that comes in will not be treated as payment.

  • Consider reversals in current cycle as payment: If you select this option the reversals in current cycle will be treated as payment.

  • Consider reversals in current and past cycle as payment: If you select this option reversal in current and past cycle will be treated as payment.

  1. Select Currency name for the minimum / maximum threshold for Interest from the drop-down list of GL currencies for the Entity.

  1. Click Edit. Edit Settings page appears.

The additional fields are as follows.

  1. By default, Replenish across cycles will be unchecked. If this field is checked, Aura will replenish Balance classes according to the Replenishment order but across cycles. If this is not checked Aura will replenish within a cycle and then move on to next cycle in the same order.

Example:

Replenishment OrderBalance ClassPast Cycle (Balance)Current Cycle (Balance)
1ATM_Interest100150
2ATM_Balance300200
3POS_Interest200150
4POS_Balance800600

Case 1: Suppose Payment of 200 has been made and the Replenish across cycles is YES. The payment made will be replenished across the cycles.

Replenishment OrderBalance ClassPast Cycle (Balance)Current Cycle (Balance)
1ATM_Interest100 - 100 = 0150 - 100 = 50
2ATM_Balance300200
3POS_Interest200150
4POS_Balance800600

Case 2: Suppose Payment of 200 has been made and the Replenish across cycles is NO. The payment made will be replenished within the cycles.

Replenishment OrderBalance ClassPast Cycle (Balance)Current Cycle (Balance)
1ATM_Interest100 - 100 = 0150
2ATM_Balance300 - 100 = 200200
3POS_Interest200150
4POS_Balance800600
  1. Enter Margin to request payment. You can input any 3-digit amount in base currency. Aura will generate Amount required only if the balance in the account is more than this amount. If the balance is less than this amount, then no payment due is requested; but the statement will still be generated.

For Example: Suppose Margin to request payment is 100 SEK and Total outstanding is 90 SEK. In this case, no payment due is requested but a statement will be generated.

  1. Enter Payment margin for overdue interest. You can input any 3-digit amount in base currency. If the Payment margin for overdue interest is 5 SEK, Amount required is 100 SEK and Payment amount is 95 SEK. Aura will check whether the payment amount is less than the amount required + 5 SEK (95 SEK + 5 SEK). If condition is satisfied, then no overdue interest or late payment fee will be applied. If condition is not satisfied, then overdue interest and late payment fee will be applied.

  2. Enter Total payment margin. You can input any 3-digit amount in base currency. The amount entered here is taken into consideration if the payment falls short by this amount to qualify the payment for Total payment amount. The account will get all the benefits as though the Total payment amount is received.

  3. Enter Limit threshold %. The limit threshold % ensures that over limit charges and interest are not marked if the limit is breached by an amount set within the threshold. Limit threshold % will be calculated on the limit amount.

  4. Enter Limit threshold amount. This is similar to Limit threshold % but is entered as an amount. Aura will charge over limit charge and interest only if the account balance goes beyond the (limit + limit threshold amount).

Note: If both Limit threshold % and Limit threshold amount are entered, Aura will consider the lesser of the two as the actual threshold.

  1. Enter Authorization buffer %. Authorisation buffer ensures that the authorisation is not rejected for small amounts. The authorisation buffer is a % of the overall limit subject to a maximum amount. The authorization buffer applies only when the account is within the limit at the start of the transaction. If the account is already above the limit at the start of the transaction, then the buffer does not apply, and the authorization is declined with appropriate codes. Therefore, the buffer can only be applicable for one transaction at any given point of time.

For example, the limit is 10,000 SEK. The Authorization buffer is set to 1.5% of the limit. With a limit of 10,000 SEK this means that a maximum of 150 SEK is allowed as the authorization buffer. The available balance is 100 SEK. An authorization with the amount of 120 SEK is received. It will be approved since it is (120-100=20 SEK) within the authorization buffer. If the available balance had been 0 the authorization would have been rejected because the available balance was 0 even though the threshold was 150 SEK.

  1. Enter Buffer amount ceiling. It is the maximum authorization buffer amount.

For Example: If the account has a limit of 10,000 SEK and if the authorisation buffer is maintained as 3% subject to maximum threshold amount of 200 SEK, then the authorisation buffer is 200 SEK. If the limit is changed from 10,000 SEK to 5000 SEK, then the buffer becomes 150 SEK.

  1. Enter number of months that are allowed as Payment free months. This cannot be greater than 6.

  2. Select Type of Payment free month.

  • Fixed holiday months: You can choose specific months equal to the number input above.

  • Floating months: In this case, the months are not fixed but will be floating as per the choice of the client.

  1. If you have chosen Fixed months, then, the Fixed holiday months check boxes are enabled. Check the required checkboxes to choose the Fixed holiday months.

  2. If you have entered Payment free months, then, you also need to specify the conditions for the payment free months. The first check for payment free month applicability is whether the customer has had any card transactions in his account. This can be specified under Transaction check. The available options are:

  • No check: If you want to specify that the payment free month is applicable irrespective of any transactions in the account, choose No check. No transaction check will be done.

  • Check for card transaction in X cycles: If you want to specify that the payment free month is applicable only if the account has had card transaction in the past X cycles, choose this option. Aura will check for card transactions in x cycles.

  • Check for any transaction in X cycles: If you want to specify that the payment free month is applicable only if the account has had some transaction (not necessarily card transactions) in the past X cycles, then, choose this option. Aura will check for any kind of transactions in x cycles.

  1. If you have chosen any option other than No check above, you need to specify the number of cycles for the transaction check in Number of cycles (transaction check).

  2. One other eligibility condition for payment free month is whether the account has any debit balance. You can use Debit Balance check options for the same:

  • No check: If you want to specify that the payment free month is applicable irrespective of any balance in the account, use this option. No balance check for the account will be performed.

  • Check for current debit balance: If you want to specify that the payment free month is applicable only if the card account has a current debit balance, use this option. Aura will check for the current debit balance.

  1. Overdue Status check is the next eligibility condition for payment free month applicability. The following options are available:
  • No check: If you want to specify that the payment free month is applicable irrespective of whether the account is overdue or not, choose this option. No overdue status check for the account will be performed.

  • Check not overdue for X cycles: If you want to specify that the payment free month is applicable only if the account has not been overdue for the past X cycles, choose this option. Aura will check that the account has not gone overdue for the past X cycles.

  1. If you have chosen any option other than No check above, you need to specify the number of cycles for the overdue status check in Number of cycles (overdue status check).

  2. If you want a bonus account to be created automatically along with the card account creation, select Yes for Auto create Reward account. If you select No, Bonus account will get created only when a transaction eligible for bonus points is processed.

  3. Select Reward account product which will be used for auto-creation of Reward Account.

  4. The Reward account currency will be displayed by default. Aura will display the currency available for the Reward Account Product chosen above.

  5. Select the Dispute account product from the drop-down list of all active Dispute account products. Whenever any dispute transaction has to be posted for an account under this Card Account Product, a dispute account will be created using this Dispute account product.

  6. If you want an automatic write off trigger for an account status, choose Yes in Automatic write off field. If you click on Yes, you need to specify the status when the write off should be triggered.

Balance Classification

Balance classification allows you to create groups of transaction codes which need differential treatment. This will provide the ability to

  • Treat balances differently, say, between POS withdrawals and ATM cash withdrawals -- so that cash limits can be tracked. Also, when payment is received, it gives the ability to prioritize, say, ATM withdrawals over POS withdrawals.

  • Provide differential interest attributes for different balances.

  • Group transactions for the purpose of display in statements view

There are two sub-tabs, one each for Debit Transaction Codes and Credit Transaction Codes. You can add one or more transaction codes under these sub-tabs, along with the specific interest scheme and other parameters like.

  • Qualify for Cash limit (Available only for Debits)

  • Capitalize interest in the current cycle (Available only for Debits)

  • Reverse accrual on full settlement (Available only for Debits)

  • Reverse accrual on full settlement only if not rolled over (Available only for Debits).

  • Liquidate interest for the current period transactions (Available only for debits)

  • Treat as Payment (Available only for Credits)

  • Interest on interest schemes (Available only for Debits)

During transaction processing, the transaction will be added to the respective balance class depending on the transaction code. If the specific transaction code is not maintained under a specific balance class, it will be added to a default balance class. The interest parameters of the default balance class will be those that are maintained at the Product -- Interest Receivable / Interest Payable tabs.

Note that the default balance classes do not have the other parameters listed above. Hence, if you want to apply any of the parameters to any transaction code, these have to be added to the required balance class.

Balance Classification sub-tabs are:

  • Credit

  • Debit

Balance Classification -- Credit

Balance Classification -- Debit

To add Debit Balance Class group

Access Card Account Product page and click Balance Classification tab and then Debit sub tab.

Click Add. Add Debit Group page appears.

Enter Description of the Debit Group.

Select Interest scheme from the drop-down list of active interest schemes maintained under Admin > System Codes > Interest > Interest Scheme.

The Qualify for Cash limit will be available only for debit transaction codes. If the flag is checked, the transactions using the transaction codes under this balance class group would be treated as using the Cash Limit for the account and thus, the available cash limit at account level will be arrived at.

If Capitalize interest in the current cycle flag is checked, then Aura will capitalize interest on transactions that have originated in the current cycle. By default, it does for the past period. If this flag is checked, the option to Reverse accrual on full payment field will be automatically marked as No and will be disabled, since the interest is already capitalized / liquidated before the payment.

Reverse accrual list gives you the following options to indicate when the accrued interest receivable can be reversed.

No: This is the default option. When selected, it means that the accrued interest will not be reversed irrespective of the payment.

On full settlement: When selected, it means that the accrued interest will be reversed only if the total outstanding on the account was paid in full.

On full settlement if not rolled over: When selected, it means that the accrued interest will be reversed only if the total outstanding on the account was paid in full and there was no previous roll over of the outstanding amount. If the balance has been rolled-over and in the next cycle if the customer pays the full balance the interest accrued in the current cycle is not reversed for the rolled-over amounts. However, the interest will be reversed for those amounts that were debited in immediate cycle and paid fully (without roll-over).

Select Treatment of reversals from the preshipped values. The options are:

  • Treat Current cycle reversal as payment: If this option is chosen, then all the current cycle reversals will be treated as payments.

  • Treat current and past cycle reversal as payment: If this option is chosen, then all the current and past cycle reversals will be treated as payments.

Click Transaction Code for interest liquidation hyper link. Aura displays the list of all the active Client Debit transaction codes.

Replenishment

Using Replenishment tab, you can provide the sequential preference for the groups maintained under balance classification (Debit / Credit) and Default Group. Based on the Replenishment preference, any payments coming in will allocate the paid amount in the order specified.

A replenishment function will allocate any credit balance towards debit balance classes. This function will be invoked for each transaction provided the nature of the transaction is against the nature of the current balance of the account. If the transaction is a debit while the current balance is credit, the replenishment function will be triggered. If the transaction is a credit while the current balance is debit, the replenishment function will be triggered.

Example:

Debit Classes -- ATM, POS, Default Debit (Indicates the To order)

Credit Classes -- Payments, Default Credit (Indicates the From order)

a. Account balance is 100 DB and a transaction of 25 CR comes in

I.  Replenishment function will trigger and allocate 25 towards the
    debit balance classes as per the order. Debit balance class will
    total 75 after replenishment. Credit balance will have 0
    balance.

b. Account balance is 100 DB, and a transaction of 125 CR comes in

I.  Replenishment function will trigger and allocate 100 towards the
    debit balance classes as per the order and retain 25 CR balance
    in the credit class. Debit balance class will be 0 after
    replenishment.

c. Account balance is 100 CR, and a transaction of 25 DB comes in

I.  Replenishment function will trigger and allocate 25 towards the
    debit balance classes as per the order. Debit balance class will
    total 0 after replenishment and credit balance class will be
    reduced to 75.

d. Account balance is 100 CR, and a transaction of 125 DB comes in

I.  Replenishment function will trigger and allocate 100 towards the
    debit balance classes as per the order. Debit balance class will
    be 25 after replenishment and credit balance class will be 0.

The same logic will be applied for reversals where the amount of reversal exceeds the balance.

The following are the sub-tabs under Replenishment:

  • Credit

  • Debit

Rule Sequence

You can define the order in which the rules have to be executed using the Rule Sequence tab. By default, it will contain all the maintained Rule names. It will be displayed in ascending order and will have the provision to manipulate the sequence, as you require.

To define the Rule Sequence,

  1. Access Card Account Product page and click Status Rule, and then click Rule Sequence sub tab.

  1. All available Rules are displayed. Select any Rule Name and click on Up or Down button, as required.

Up: If you click up button, then Aura will move the selected Rule Name to the next higher order of preference and interchange the position between the source and destination. For the topmost Rule Name the Up button will be disabled.

Down: If you click down button, then Aura will move the selected Rule Name to the next lower order of preference and interchange the position between the source and destination. For the bottom most Rule Name the Down button will be disabled.

Insurance Plan

This tab allows you to map Insurance Plans that are available for accounts under the Product. You can maintain details about the fees and other conditions for the plan.

To add a new Insurance Plan

  1. Access Card Account Product page and click Insurance Plan tab.

  1. Click Add. Add Insurance Plan page appears.

  1. Select the Plan Name from the drop-down list maintained under Admin > System Codes > Generic definitions > Insurance Plan. The list will show only those Insurance Plans which have been marked as available for all / this specific Card Product. Once you have added an insurance plan for the card account product, you cannot add it to the same Product again.

  2. You can specify the maximum amount of insurance cover under this Plan for the Card Accounts created under this Product, in the Insurance cover field. By default, it will show the maximum cover for the insurance plan as maintained under Admin > System Codes > Generic definitions > Insurance Plan. However, you can update it to any lesser amount.

  3. The basis for the Premium to be charged on the Insurance Plan can be specified by selecting either or both options in Premium Fee basis. The fee will be calculated using the Charge Scheme specified for the Insurance Plan under Admin > System Codes > Generic definitions > Insurance Plan. If the Charge scheme is of FLAT amount, the options for Fee basis will be disabled. For Banded Charge schemes, the following options are available for the premium fee basis:

    • Outgoing Balance: If this option is selected the Premium fee will be based on the outgoing balance of a card account.

    • Deferred payment balance: If this option is selected then the Premium fee will be based on the sum of the associated deferred payment account balances.

If both the options are selected, then the Premium fee will be based on the total of outgoing card balance + deferred payment account balances.

Note: There can be a credit balance in the card account which can offset the debit balance in the deferred payment balance.

  1. If the Restrict premium fee to insurance cover is marked as Yes, then the Premium fee will be based on the maximum cover of the insurance plan when the outgoing balance of the card account / deferred payment account balance / both exceeds the maximum cover of insurance plan. By default, this is No so that the Premium fee is calculated on the actual outgoing balance of the card account / deferred payment account balance / both.

  2. If you want to temporarily suspend the insurance cover whenever the balance in the account exceeds the insurance cover, select Yes for Balance exceeding insurance cover. The balance for this purpose is taken from the premium fee basis calculation that you chose above. Hence, it could be the outgoing balance of the card account / deferred payment account balance / both. By default, this is No.

For example: If this field is 'Yes' and if Premium fee basis is selected as outgoing balance, then the temporary suspension will get triggered when the outgoing balance is greater than insurance plan cover. And if both the options are selected for Premium fee basis, then, the temporary suspension will get triggered when the outgoing balance + deferred payment balance exceeds the insurance plan cover.

  1. Enter the Minimum balance for cover. If the outgoing balance is less than the minimum balance for cover, then Aura will automatically suspend the account.

For example: If the minimum balance for cover is defined as 10 SEK, then the card account will be insured only if the balance is greater than or equal to 10 SEK and if outgoing balance comes below 10 SEK the insurance cover will be temporarily suspended.

  1. If you want to temporarily suspend the insurance plan based on the status of the account, you can use the Suspend on status flag. By default, this is No and hence the insurance plan is not suspended for any of the statuses. However, if you choose Yes, you can specify the statuses (one or many) using the combo box of list of statuses. When the account reaches any of the chosen statuses, the insurance cover will be suspended.

  2. Click Save. Insurance page appears with the added details.

Functions: Add, Edit, Approve, Suspend, Activate

Restrictions

Restrictions tab will allow you to set or restrict the edit access to certain options / fields available at the product level. The restrictions set at the product level will be applicable at the account level.

The Restrictions tab shows the tabs and fields where Restrictions can be applied. You can choose the specific fields and values which you want to restrict for edit at account level. By default, all fields will be unchecked -- so that the user cannot edit those fields at the Account level.

Restrictions once set can be modified by edit. The updated restrictions will be applicable for future edits and will not impact updates that have already been done.

For example, while creating a Product, Aura provides you an option to select Partial amount or Total due amount for Amount required field. Here, if you select Total due amount as your option, then this option will be defaulted at the account level; and you cannot be change it to any other option. However, using restrictions tab, you can allow an edit for this field at the account level.

For the purpose of Restrictions, we can say that Aura has four types of fields. They are; dropdown lists, radio buttons, check boxes and text boxes. The way in which the Restrictions are set for each type is described below with an example.

Example for checkbox field type:

Restrictions are set by a simple check / uncheck of the relevant field in the Restrictions Tab.

Consider the Modify charges field in the Charges tab.

If you check the Edit Modify charges checkbox, you will be allowed to check or uncheck the Modify charges check box at the account level.

Example for Textbox field type:

Restrictions are set by a simple check / uncheck of the relevant field in the Restrictions Tab.

Consider Margin to require payment field in the Settings tab,

Aura will calculate Amount required only if the balance in the account is more than this amount. If you want to allow edit of this field at the account level, then check the Edit Margin to require payment field.

Example for Radio button field type:

Restrictions are set by specifying the options that are available for edit in the Restrictions Tab. The field in the Restrictions tab will display the value chosen for the Product.

Consider Balance check field.

  1. While creating a product, you will have an option to select Allow only credit balance, Allow only debit balance or Allow both. The option selected at the product level will be defaulted at the account level and the options other than the defaulted one will be disabled.

  2. To enable the options for the balance check field at the account level, check Edit Balance check checkbox. The corresponding Edit button will be enabled.

  3. Click Edit button. Edit Restriction page will be displayed.

  1. The Available list on the left will show the list of options as per the filter conditions for the field in the corresponding tab, excluding the option(s) already chosen at the Product level.

  2. The Allowed list on the right will show the list of options that you had chosen earlier while setting the restrictions.

  3. If the field type is dropdown, the defaulted options selected at the product level will not be shown in either of the lists.

  4. Select option from the Available list box and click on forward arrow (🡪) button. The selected option will be moved to Allowed list box. If you want to remove an option from the Allowed list, select the same and click on backward arrow (🡨) button.

  1. Click Save. Restriction page appears with the edited details. On saving, at the account level you will be allowed to select the options under the Allowed list for the Balance check.

Example for Drop-down list field type:

Restrictions are set by specifying the options that are available for edit in the Restrictions Tab. The field in the Restrictions tab will display the value chosen for the Product.

Consider Amount opening fee.

  1. At the Product level, Account opening fee is a Charge Scheme attached to the Amount opening fee charge. If you want to allow the edit of Charge Scheme at the account level, then check the Edit Account opening fee check box. The Edit button for the corresponding charge will be enabled.

  2. Click Edit. Edit Restriction page will be displayed. Other than the default charge attached to the product, all the charges as per the filter applied for selected field will be listed in the Available list box. These charges are maintained at Admin > System codes > Charges > Charges.

  1. Select charges from the Available list box and click forward arrow (🡪). The selected charges will be moved to Allowed list box. If you want to move an option from the Allowed list, click backward arrow (🡨) button.

  1. Click Save. On saving, at the account level, in the charge scheme drop-down list along with the default charge scheme all the charge schemes moved to Allowed list will be displayed and the user can choose as required.
