# How to Post Interest to a Term Deposit Account

Interest is normally calculated and posted to an account using a batch process that runs on a regular basis defined by your financial institution. You may use the Post Interest transaction to post interest earned as of the current date and between runs of the batch process. 

*Is the above information true?*

### **To post interest for a term deposit account**

Locate the deposit account by viewing the client that holds the saving account and click on the term deposit account under **Saving Account Overview**.

1. Select **More** and **Post Interest** from the action bar.
2. Click the **Transactions** tab to view the interest posted transactions.\

   \&#xNAN;*The transactions posted seem to omit the last interest posting period? For example, I set up a 3 month term deposit that matured in May. When I calculated and posted transactions as of a June date, there were 2 post interest transaction—March and April. There was not one for May???*
