Interest Rate Calculation

Interest rates for Daily Interest Savings Accounts are expressed annually, paid monthly and calculated daily. VersaBank uses the following calculation to accumulate interest:

daily interest accrual =
{daily closing balance x (12 [(1+ annual interest rate)^1/12 – 1])}/365

Cheque Hold / Validation Period

Non-cash and non-VersaBank cheque deposits will be subject to a validation period. Funds will not be available for withdrawal or transfer until this hold period is lifted.
