Create interest plan

Create an interest plan configuration that defines how the platform calculates interest accrual. After it's created, you can apply the interest plan to a specific product or account. For example, you can provide the interest_plan_id when creating a deposit product, when creating a savings account, or when depositing money into an account.

This endpoint generates an Interest plan creation succeeded event.

For more information, refer to the Interest-bearing accounts guide.

Request body

accrual_basis'BD/252' | 'ACTUAL/360' | 'ACTUAL/365' | 'ACTUAL/ACTUAL' required

Method used to calculate interest accrual.

  • BD/252: Calculates daily interest using a 252-day year and the actual number of business days in each time period.
  • ACTUAL/360: Calculates daily interest using a 360-day year and the actual number of days in each time period.
  • ACTUAL/365: Calculates daily interest using a 365-day year and the actual number of days in each time period.
  • ACTUAL/ACTUAL: Calculates daily interest using the actual number of days in the year (which in the leap year is 366) and the actual number of days in each time period.
accrual_frequency'DAILY' | 'MONTHLY' | 'QUARTERLY' | 'HALF_YEARLY' | 'YEARLY' | 'MATURITY' required

Interest accrual frequency

capitalization_frequency'DAILY' | 'MONTHLY' | 'QUARTERLY' | 'HALF_YEARLY' | 'YEARLY' | 'MATURITY' required

Interest payout frequency

currency_code'986' | '826' | '356' | '840' | '978' | '604' | '036' | '484' | '764' | '208' | '752' | '578' required

Numeric currency code in ISO 4217 standard. Only the following codes are accepted: 986 (BRL), 826 (GBP), 356 (INR), 840 (USD), 978 (EUR), 604 (PEN), 036 (AUD), 484 (MXN), 764 (THB), 208 (DKK), 752 (SEK), 578 (NOK).

descriptionstring required

Interest plan name

interest_type'SIMPLE' | 'COMPOUND' required

Interest calculation type

  • SIMPLE: Calculated on the original deposit or investment value.
  • COMPOUND: Calculated on the original value plus the last accumulated interest.
operation_type'DEBIT' | 'CREDIT'

Operation type.

  • DEBIT: Interest plan for debit type operations
  • CREDIT: Interest plan for credit type operations
benchmark'BOE' | 'DI' | 'FED' | 'RBA' | 'RBI' | 'TO'

Market index used to measure interest value over time. For fixed interest, this field must be null.

  • BOE: Bank of England, UK
  • DI: Interbank Deposit Contract, Brazil
  • FED: Federal Reserve System, USA
  • RBA: Reserve Bank of Australia
  • RBI: Reserve Bank of India
  • TO: Overnight Interbank Target Rate (Tasa Objetivo), Mexico
fixed_interest_ratenumber float nullable

Nominal annual interest rate, expressed as a decimal fraction. 0.10 = 10% per year. 1.00 = 100% per year. Do not send 10 for 10%. Maximum precision: 8 decimal places. The platform converts this annual rate to the accrual period using accrual_basis and interest_type.

If you pass a value for benchmark, this field must be null. Otherwise, it's required.

marginnumber double

Additive spread, in the same unit and period as the benchmark rate: nominal annual, decimal fraction. If benchmark is 0.025 and margin is 0.0225, the resulting annual rate is 0.0475.

If you pass a value for benchmark, this field is optional. If benchmark is null, this field must be null also.

margin_ratenumber double nullable

Multiplier applied to the benchmark rate, expressed as a decimal fraction of 100%. 1.00 = 100% of the benchmark. 1.10 = 110% of the benchmark. 0.95 = 95% of the benchmark. This is not added to the benchmark—use margin for an additive spread.

If you don't pass a value for benchmark, this field must be null. Otherwise, it's required.

start_datestring date required

Date to start applying the interest plan. Format = YYYY-MM-DD.

division_idstring

Division ID attached to the interest plan for accrual by division

interest_base_model'CLOSING-BALANCE' | 'BALANCE-CHANGE'

Interest calculation model. CLOSING-BALANCE calculates interest on a single end-of-day balance snapshot. BALANCE-CHANGE calculates interest on each intraday balance movement (for example, credits and debits) as it occurs, so interest accrues on the balance held during each interval between consecutive movements rather than on one end-of-day figure. Defaults to CLOSING-BALANCE.
