Funds deposited after AET 12:00 on T day will be included in the uninvested cash balance calculations on T day . Where a Client with existing uninvested cash balance in their Moomoo AU Account completes Enrolment in the Cash Plus program, the Client's uninvested balance will begin accruing interest on the same day if the Enrolment is completed by 11:59AM AET on that day (T+0). If Enrolment is completed on or after mid-day (12:00PM AET), the Client's uninvested balance will begin accruing interest on the next day (T+1).
Daily income calculation formula: Daily Interest = Uninvested cash balance (up to AUD $100,000) * 6.8%/365
Additional notes：
1. For purpose of the Cash Plus program, "uninvested cash balance" is defined as the funds immediately available for withdrawal recorded at 12:00 AET daily cut-off times for interest accrual. On the daily and monthly account statements delivered to clients, this figure is displayed as "Ending Settled Cash" under the Cash section.
2. If the uninvested cash balance returns to zero during the interest accrual period due to reasons such as settlement of trades and/or withdrawal of funds, interest accrual will also stop from the same day (T+0).
3. The following actions (including but without limitation) will reduce uninvested cash balance in the account:
a. Having in-market pending orders, which freezes part of the cash balance equivalent to consideration of the orders;
b. Having executed orders on T day for settlement on T+2, which removes part of the cash balance equivalent to consideration of the orders on T day for ahead of settlement;
c. Confirming participation in corporate actions which will result in payment of cash;
d. Submitting a funds withdrawal request prior to the daily cut-off time;
e. Any other actions and/or items which result in debiting of cash balance, including deductions of fees and charges.
4. Moomoo AU is required by law to obtain clients' agreement and instructions before investing or handling client money to earn interests. If a New Client completes account opening and deposits but fails to complete the Enrolment process through the Cash Plus information webpage, Moomoo will not have the proper authorisation in place to handle the New Client's funds accordingly to earn interest. In such scenario, the accrual of daily interest will NOT commence until the New Client completes the Enrolment process;
5. Where a Client completes Enrolment in the Cash Plus program for the first time, if the Enrolment is completed by 11:59AM AET, the interests start to accured on the date of Enrolment(T+0) and you can see such interest earnings within Moomoo App on the next day of the Enrolment; If Enrolment is completed on or after mid-day (12:00PM AET), you can start to accured on the next day of Enrolment (T+1), and you can see the previous' day 's earning within Moomoo APP on the third day of the Enrolment.
