REBATING UNEARNED INTEREST.

TO THE MEMBER BANK ADDRESSED:
Our Executive Committee has authorized us to modify our former
rules for rebating unearned interest on rediscounts retired before maturity,
and under its instructions the following practice will be followed by this
bank until further notice:
(a) No rebate will be granted which amounts to less than one
dollar ($1.00),
(b) No rebate will bo granted on notes retired within one week
of their maturity, nor on notes of $100.00 or less.
(c)
Except as above, a rebate of the unearned interest, computed
at a rate one per cent, less than our regular discount rate on the same class
of paper for the unexpired time, will be granted on all rediscounts retired
before maturity, provided said regular discount rate shall not be greater
than the rate at which the rediscount was originally made.
the preceding
rule to a member
(d)
No rebate will be granted
under
bank whose required reserve with this bank is deficient at the time of, or
for any three successive days within thirty days prior to, ths repayment of
the rediscount on which the member bank might otherwise be entitled to a
rebate.
(e) Member banks entitled to rebates will have their accounts on
our books credited with same whether applied for or not.
(f) On notes taken up before maturity under instructions from
this bank, on account of depreciation in value, lack of eligibility, etc.,
a rebate of the entire unearned interest at the rate at which the rediscount
is made will be granted.
Respectfully,
R. L. VAN ZANDT
Governor
