4 Recurring Fees

Recurring fees are applied on a recurring basis, based on the frequency you specify (e.g., monthly or annually). These are also referred to as scheduled fees, and can be used to apply fees for annual subscriptions, card activation, card load, card dormancy and card inactivity charges to your card products.

Below is an example of one of the Recurring Fee groups set up on the Recurring Fee Groups tab of the Product Setup Form (PSF). The Recurring Fee group enables you to define unique fees for a card product. You can have multiple Recurring Fee Groups set up for your program (for example, to apply different fees depending on your card product).

Figure 10: Recurring Fee Groups

A Recurring Fee group consists of a set of recurring fees configured for that group. For each recurring fee within a Recurring Fee group, you can define:

• The fee Amount.

• Whether to allow a Partial Fee to be taken if the available balance on the card is less than the full fee1 Thredd fees cannot be taken if they will result in an account going into a negative balance. If you allow partial fees, the available balance on the card will be used to pay off part of the fee charge..

How to use the Recurring Fee Groups Form

Your implementation manager completes this form:

1. The Group Name field displays the unique name of the fee group.

2. The Thredd Code field displays the internal Thredd fee code.

3. The Enable Pending field indicates whether pending fees are enabled2 If a fee cannot be taken due to insufficient funds, Thredd creates a Pending fee record..

4. The Recurring fee types are listed in column C, in the row under Recurring Fee (select from drop-down menu). See Recurring Fee Types.

5. Each recurring fee type is listed as its own row in column C. The down arrow enables you to view and select additional recurring fee types if required.

6. For each row, the fees and fee options that apply to this recurring fee type are shown.

• ATM Balance enquiries

• ATM PIN changes and PIN unblock

• Fee adjustments

• Recurring fees

If one of these types of transactions has occurred during the dormancy period, the dormancy fee will still be applied.
