There are two separate definitions for the term 'Earnings Credit'.
They cause confusion even the banking industry. 1. Earnings Credit is the adjustment factor used by banks to reduce service charges on business checking (No interest) accounts. It is not an account in and of itself. This rate is usually based on some percentage of the 13 week T-Bill rate and therefore moves. 2. Earning Credit is also the rate used by banks to set the credit allowed on a customers deposit balances. These are separate rates with the same name. Try www.investorguide.com
