Earnings Credit Rate (NY DDA)

Earnings Credit Rate (ECR) is an effective way to reduce banking fees by earning a rebate based on the average balances retained in the New York Demand Deposit Account (NY DDA).

The ECR is applied to the average daily balance at month's end, resulting in a credit that offsets. Transaction Service fees incurred in the U.S. ECR is applied to clients that are billed through the Account Analysis billing process and are balance-based as opposed to fee-based.

Two basic ways to calculate ECR are as follows: Required Balance = Fee/ECR*365/Days in Month ECR = Fee Equivalent/Average Positive Available Balance*12*100
