For a time deposit product, you must provide a maturity date. This date must respect the maximum and minimum term, if the deposit product has set them.

You need to contact your Pismo representative for assistance with setting up interest-bearing accounts, but Pismo is in the process of releasing the APIs that allow you to perform these configurations yourself. Bookmark this page and check back soon for updates and links to the APIs as they become available.

The interest plan that you want to use must already exist on the platform. For more information, refer to Interest plans.
