Q If I make a deposit, will it be immediately included in my Total Average Monthly Relationship Balance? ID 009

A If you make a deposit in the middle of a month, the deposited amount will be included in the calculation for your Total Average Monthly Relationship Balance. The Total Average Monthly Relationship Balance is not the same as the balance as of the end of the month.

e.g.) During the month (transaction on the 21st) you deposit 5 million yen in addition to existing 5 million yen balance.

Sum of daily balance: (5 million yen × 20 days) + ( 10 million yen × 11 days) = 210 million yen

Number of days in the month = 31 days

Average Monthly Balance: 210 million yen ÷ 31 days

= approx. 6.77 million yen
