VI. DETERMINATION OF BALANCE OR ACCOUNT VALUE LIMITS
In order to determine the fulfillment of customer balance or account value limits, the Reporting Financial Institution needs to pay attention to:
- Aggregate balance or account value.
The Reporting Financial Institution determines the fulfillment of balance or account value limits based on the aggregate balance or value of all accounts owned by the customer.
- Currency exchange rate.
In the event that the customer's account balance or value is recorded in a currency other than the US Dollar, the Reporting Financial Institution must convert the account balance or value into US Dollars. The currency conversion exchange rate refers to the mid-rate of Bank Indonesia on the last working day at the end of the reporting period. Example:
Customer A has an account with a balance of AUD 400,000 (four hundred thousand Australian dollars) at Bank X in 2016.
The mid-rate of Bank Indonesia on December 31, 2016 is as follows:
| Currency | Value | Bank Indonesia Mid-Rate (Rupiah) |
|---|
| AUD 1 | 10,061.84 | |
| USD 1 | 13,103.00 | |
Customer A's account balance in US Dollars at Bank X is:
AUD 400,000 × (Rp 10,061.84 / AUD 1) / (Rp 13,103.00 / USD 1) = USD 307,160.35
