FINANCE CHARGE MINIMUM
The minimum finance charge can be applied in one of the following two ways at the time of running the finance charges from Calculate Finance Charge.
  1. Ignore:
    The Minimum is the smallest monthly amount that would be charged on an over due account. Amounts calculated below this would be ignored and the customer would not be charged.
    e.g. If the minimum were $1.00 and the finance charge was $0.60 then nothing would be charged.
  2. Bill Minimum:
    The Minimum is the smallest monthly amount that would be charged on an over due account. If the finance charge was less than the minimum, then the minimum would be used instead.
    e.g. If the minimum were $1.00 and the finance charge was $0.60 then $1.00 applies.
