What is the Total Average Monthly Relationship Balance?

'Total Average Monthly Relationship Balance' is the sum of the average monthly balances of each product in your SMBC Trust Bank PRESTIA accounts, and is the standard used to determine eligibility for a waiver of the account maintenance fee or for discount fee services. Your Total Average Monthly Relationship Balance is included in your Bank Statement.

Basic Formula

1. Add up the end-of-day balances for each product and divide by the number of days in that month to calculate the 'average monthly balance'

Note: This 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

Day 1 20 days 5 million yen Deposits Day 21 11 days Day 31 10 million yen

2. Calculate the 'Average Monthly Balance' for each product to calculate the Total Average Monthly Relationship Balance

  • *1For insurance products, the Total Average Monthly Relationship Balance is calculated based on the balance as of the last business day of every month. The balance of insurance product will not be reflected in your Total Average Monthly Relationship Balance within about a year after the end of the contract.
