What is the Contractual Return Promise (CRP) and how is it different from paying interest?
- Under the CRP model, FinClear agrees (via Terms & Conditions) to pay clients a stated or formula‑based Cash Hub Return on eligible balances.
- That payment is funded from FinClear’s own resources (which may be supported economically by earnings FinClear receives on pooled client money accounts, treasury operations, or other sources) but is not a pass‑through of actual bank interest.
- Importantly, the CRP is not guaranteed; FinClear may vary the rate prospectively (subject to notice) and is not obliged to top up shortfalls beyond the contractual formula.
- This structure avoids giving clients a direct entitlement to investment earnings that could re‑characterise the facility as a deposit or MIS.
