Frequently Asked Questions

For time accounts over one year with no compounding, why is the A.P.Y. less than the interest rate?

Commonly Asked Truth-in-Savings Questions
The basic formulas in Regulation DD use annual compounding. The intent is to provide a uniform measurement system to report the interest earned, as a percentage, to depositors. As shown in the above question, a one-year deposit with no compounding will result in an interest rate equal to the A.P.Y. (In this case, the interest is actually compounded once, at the end of the year.) If the term of the transaction is longer than one year, the interest is compounded only once, at the end of the term.

What is the difference between the stated interest rate and the APY?

The stated interest rate refers to the percentage of return that you will receive on your investment. APY refers to Annual Percentage Yield. If you re-invest the interest earned, you will begin to earn interest on your interest. This is called compounding interest. Therefore the APY, that which you are actually earning on your initial investment, is higher than the stated interest rate if you choose to re-invest your interest.

What is compounding interest?

REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS - FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
Compounding interest, also called anatocism, is interest which is regularly added to the debt (compounded).

With compound interest, the frequency of compounding influences the total amount of interest paid over the life of the loan.

What is the difference between the Interest Rate and APY on the statement or deposit certificate?

Far East National Bank
Interest Rate is a simple rate for calculating interest. Annual Percentage Yield (APY) is a compounded annual rate, the result of interest rolling on top of interest.
