In the event that a new conventional retail bank licensee joins the Conventional Fund during any year, the Board determines the contribution of that bank to the Fund on the basis of the minimum payment made by other participating banks during that year for the remaining period of the year after dividing the full contribution amount over the number of months of a year. At the beginning of the following year, there will be an assessment of that bank's contribution based on the size of its Eligible Accounts base.
