Compliance Question of the Week

Question: If a minimum balance is required on an account to earn interest, is the bank required to pay interest for days when the balance drops below the required minimum?

ANSWER: 

If the bank uses the daily minimum balance method, the bank may choose not to pay interest for days when the balance drops below the required minimum.

When the average daily balance is used, the bank may choose not to pay interest for the period in which the balance drops below the required minimum.
