Mambu allows you to easily manage and work with your clients' deposit accounts.
Entering a deposit
To log a deposit from a client on a current / savings account:
- Go to the account's overview page.
- On the right-hand side of the screen, select Deposit.
- Enter the amount and use the Channel dropdown to select the transaction channel.
- Select Make Deposit.
Deposits collection
If you need to make several deposits you can do it through the bulk deposit option. In order to do so you must create first the Deposits Collections menu item. For more details on creating this menu item, see Menu Items.
To make a bulk deposit transaction:
- On the main menu, go to Deposit Transactions > Deposits Collections.
- Click on the dropdown menus to filter the deposits per branch, centre, credit officer and product > click on Filter.
A list with all the deposits following the criteria you chose will appear. The default values for Deposit Amount are the ones defined in those accounts.
- To make several deposits without changing the original amount due and date, check the correspondent boxes > click on Post Deposits > click on Make Deposits.
Making deposit transactions in bulk
This feature is currently in the pre-release phase and enabled only for certain customers on request. If you would like to learn more about whether this feature may fit your current or upcoming needs, please talk to your CSM or solutions engineer.
Apart from using the UI (as presented in the topic above), you can also post deposit transactions in Bulk using the API.
While the Deposits collection functionality allows you to post multiple transactions simultaneously but would fail in full if one of them fails, with the API each transaction is processed separately meaning that if one of the transactions fails, the rest of them continue to run and have their own status.
There is a second API endpoint that allows you to see the status of a bulk transaction, identified by the bulk ProcessKey which gives the status of the bulk and shows all successful operations processed along.
Making withdrawals
To log a withdrawal from a client on a current or deposit account:
- Go to the account's overview page.
- On the right-hand side of the screen, select Withdrawal.
- Enter the amount and use the Channel dropdown to select the transaction channel.
- Select Make Withdrawal.
Withdrawals on accounts that have a maturity period enabled are not possible. Only administrator users and users with the Make early withdrawal permission can do it.
Making transfers
You can make transfers from a deposit account to another deposit or loan account, including from deposit accounts on overdraft balance with the condition that they are made in the same currency.
When you make a transfer from an overdraft account, the transferred amount will be debited on the overdraft account at accounting level and credited on the target deposit or loan account. Transfers can be made even if the current deposit account balance is positive, but will become negative (overdraft) after the transfer is made.
Custom fields for transfers
Transfers are the only transaction type made without using transaction channels to which you may assign custom fields. Custom fields are additional fields you can create in order to capture additional information required for your business processes. For more information, see Setting up Custom Fields and Posting Transactions with Custom Fields.
Early withdrawals in Fixed Deposits
In a Fixed Deposit account, after the maturity period is started, only administrator users or those who have the permission to make early withdrawals will be able to withdraw the deposit. Other users won't see this as an option.
Backdating deposits and withdrawals
Some organizations, due to the nature of their operations, need to backdate deposits or withdrawals which occurred days before, for instance during a collection in the field.
You can backdate any deposits or withdrawals. When posting a backdated transaction before an existing one Mambu will:
- Reverse all the transactions posted after the new transaction entry date (all transaction that have entry date bigger than the current transaction entry date)
- Post the new transaction
- Repost all the adjusted transactions
Viewing the history of deposits, withdrawals, and transfers
Every deposit, withdrawal, transfer or fee applied to an account will be stored under Transactions, as well as the method of payment used for each of them.
