Introduction

Fee schemes are used in °neo Accounts to configure fees that are applicable for a product. Therefore, a fee scheme is always part of a product template. New fee schemes can be created, updated an deleted, depending on the fact if they are used or not. A fee scheme can contain one or more fees that can individually be managed.

Fee types

°neo Accounts supports two types of fees, fixed amount and proportional fees. The difference between the two is that in the former always a fixed, predetermined, amount will be added as a fee, while in the latter a proportional fee depending on the transaction amount to which is it related will be added.

Configure a fee

The name is always required for any fee scheme. Additionally, the majority of the parameters are shared between the fixed amount and proportional fees:
