What are "new funds"?
"New funds" are understood as income from other banks or cash deposits that increase the total balance that a customer has in Openbank. In the case of deposits, this increase will be the amount for which you can open the deposit.
The total balance is the sum of the balance of current accounts, savings accounts and deposits.
How is the increase in balance calculated?
It's simple. Taking a specific date as a reference, it calculates how much the total balance of your current account(s), savings account(s) and deposits has increased with respect to that date.
This reference date is updated periodically and is the same for all customers who want to open a deposit.
Please note that investment products are not included in the calculation of this balance.
For example, Marta currently has €8,000 in her Openbank accounts and wants to open a deposit.
If the reference date is 30/04/2024, we will calculate the difference between the balance she had on that day and the balance she has today.
Current balance: €8,000
Balance on 30/09/24: €5,000
Balance increase with new funds: €3,000
Marta could open the deposit today for €3,000. If she wants a higher amount, she has two options:
Make a transfer or cash deposit from another bank, or arrange for her salary to be paid directly into the account…
For example, if Marta sends a transfer for €2,000 from another bank, her total balance would increase:
Current balance: €10,000
Balance on 30/09/24: €5,000
Balance increase: €5.000
Now Marta could open the deposit for €5,000.
As long as the balance is increased by at least €1, Marta can issue a deferred order to open the deposit, which will take effect when the money is received.
For example, if Marta has increased her balance by €3,000, but wants to open the deposit for €10,000, she can issue a deferred order for €10,000 and has 45 days to deposit the remaining €7,000 into her current account. When the €7,000 are received, the deposit will be automatically opened the following business day:
Current balance: €8,000
Balance on 30/09/24: €5,000
Balance increase: €3,000
Order to open deposit: €10,000 (pending receipt of €7,000).
If Marta does not receive the €7,000 in the next 45 days, the deposit will not be opened and her order will be cancelled.
How do I know when my balance has been increased?
If you make a cash deposit or send a transfer, the funds will be available to open the deposit the following business day.
I.e., if you receive funds on a Tuesday at 6 p.m., you will be able to open the deposit with that money on the Wednesday.
And if, for example, the transfer is issued on Tuesday at 6 p.m., and arrives on Thursday at 12 p.m., you will be able to open the deposit with that money from Friday onwards.
In any case, throughout the contractual process you can check the amount available to open the deposit.
