The following fields and check boxes on the Dividends tab support dividend processing.
Field/Check Box | Description |
---|---|
Last Posted |
The date through which the system last calculated dividends. The last dividend date can not be greater than the next dividend date. The system checks this date when you change dividend methods. The dividend method can only be changed on the first calendar day of the new dividend period. (Portico Host: 921 Transaction - DIVIDEND DATES-LAST field) |
Next Post |
The next date the system will post dividends to the member's account. The next dividend date should never be zero or less than the last dividend date. (Portico Host: 921 Transaction - DIVIDEND DATES-NEXT field) |
Frequency |
Indicates how often the system will pay dividends on this share type. The dividend dates should correspond with the dividend frequency. The valid options are: M - Monthly. Only rate options 0, 5, or 6 are allowed. Q - Quarterly. System default. S - Semi-annually A - Annually (Portico Host: 921 Transaction - DIV FRQ field) |
Compound |
Indicates when the system will compound dividends for this share type. The valid options are: D - Daily. Used only with dividend method C. M - Monthly Q - Quarterly. System default. S - Semi-annually A - Annually With the exception of D (daily), the compounding code must equal the dividend payment frequency. (Portico Host: 921 Transaction - COMP CODE field) |
Rate Option |
Indicates the method of determining the rate and balance used by the system when calculating dividends. The valid options are: 0 - Single/flat rate. This option must be selected if C (DOD/DOW) appears in the Method field. Plateau rates and balances are allowed with dividend calculation method C. System default. 5 - Split rates - Based on each eligible share balance in the dividend period. The appropriate plateau rate is multiplied by the portion of the balance within that plateau range. Rate option 5 is only valid if A (ADB) appears in the Method field. 6 - Plateau rate - Based on each eligible share balance during the dividend period. The appropriate plateau rate is multiplied by the entire balance within that plateau range. (Portico Host: 921 Transaction - RATE OPT field) |
Method |
Indicates the method used to calculate dividends on this share type. The valid options are: A - Average Daily Balance (ADB) C - Date-of-Deposit/Date-of-Withdrawal (DOD/DOW) (Portico Host: 921 Transaction - DIVD METH field) |
Pay Dividend on Closed Accounts |
If selected, the system will pay dividends on closed accounts of this share type. System default. DOD/DOW Dividend Calculation: When you close an account using the Transactions - Close Share Account tab, the system will do the following:
If you choose to not pay dividends on the account being closed, then you must type zero (0.00) in the Dividend Amount field on the Transactions - Close Share Account tab. ADB Dividend Calculation: The system does not calculate ADB dividends online and immediately credit them to the member's account as with the DOD/DOW method. Instead, the system credits the dividends to the account at the end of the period when dividends post. If you want to pay dividends at the time the account is closed, you must manually calculate the dividend amount and perform a journal voucher transaction to transfer the dividend amount from the dividend general ledger account to the member's account before closing the account. If you do not want the member to receive dividends at the end of the period, you must perform a journal voucher transaction after dividends are paid on the account to debit the member's account and credit the dividend general ledger account. Both DOD/DOW and ADB Dividend Calculation Methods: When an account is closed, the system will update the Date Closed field on the Shares- General tab with the effective date of the close transaction and put the value 9 in the Share Hold field on the Shares - Holds Detail tab. This action will allow no online or back-office activity to occur on the account with the exception of the payment of dividends. The accounts must be closed using the Share Close and Transfer process or the Transactions - Close Share Account tab. If not selected, the system will not pay dividends on closed accounts. DOD/DOW Dividend Calculation: The system will put 0.00 in the Dividend Amount field on the Transactions - Close Share Account tab and will not credit dividends to that account. If you choose to allow a specific member to receive dividends on the account being closed, then you must calculate the dividends manually and enter the amount in the Dividend Amount field on the Transactions - Close Share Account tab. ADB Dividend Calculation: The member will not receive dividends at the end of the period. (Portico Host: 921 Transaction - CLO DIV field) |
Cyclical Dividends |

This field is no longer used and cannot be updated. (Portico Host: 921 Transaction - CK HOLD DAYS NO DIV field) |
Minimum Balance to Earn Dividends |
The minimum average daily balance to receive dividends. If there is a value in this field, the Frequency field must specify M, and the Method field must specify A. If the member's average daily balance is less than the value in this field, the member will not receive a dividend for that period. To indicate the minimum daily balance to receive dividends on DOD/DOW share types, the Rate Option field must specify zero (0), the Rate 1 field must specify 0.000, and the Balance 1 field must be greater than zero (0). If the member's balance on a given day is not equal to or greater than the amount specified in the Balance 1 field, the member will not receive dividends for that day. All zeroes indicate no minimum balance is required. When calculating dividends, the system considers a negative balance the same as a zero balance. The valid value must be zero or greater. Length: 8 numeric including decimal (Portico Host: 921 Transaction - MIN BAL FOR DIV field) |
Rates Allowed |
If selected, rate changes are allowed on this share type. (Portico Host: 921 Transaction - RATES ALLOWED field) |

Disclose TISA Information |
If selected, the credit union wants to disclose TISA information for this share type. The system will print the TISA information for this share type on statements. System default. If not selected, the credit union does not want to disclose TISA information on the statement. Some accounts may be exempt from TISA disclosure. Fiserv recommends that you consult your league or attorney to determine which types of accounts are exempt. You can override the option selected for an individual member using the TISA Reporting check box on the Stmts/Reporting/Notices tab. (Portico Host: 921 Transaction - TISA DSCL field) |
Current Dividend Rates: Dividend Rate and Maximum Balance |
The dividend rate applied through the amount specified in the corresponding balance field. The Dividend Rate 1 field indicates a flat dividend rate, when the Maximum Balance 1 field is zero. Valid rates are 0 through 20.000 percent. Additional rate levels must be in ascending order. Rate Field Length: 6 numeric including decimal Balance amounts are in whole dollars. For example, if the Maximum Balance 1 field is $20,000, then any balance up to $20,000.99 uses the dividend rate in the Dividend Rate 1 field. On plateau dividends, the balances must be in ascending order. If the balance is zero, then the following rates and balances must also be zero. Balance Field Length: 6 numeric (whole dollars) (Portico Host: 921 Transaction - RATE1 - RATE10 and BAL 1 – BAL 9 fields) |
