Personally, I don't find this feature useful and indeed, it would simplify the code to just remove it...

Frank and I have both opined on https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=797854 
that the whole interest payment as part of reconciling is stupid. I want to add 
to that opinion that so is the payment transfer that optionally pops up when 
one finishes reconciling a credit card account. It's a lot of program 
complexity that relieves the user of very little work indeed: Those interest 
and payment transactions can just as easily--maybe more easily--be created in 
the register before and after reconciling, and in the case of interest they're 
an obvious candidate for a scheduled transaction.

But that's a UI change and UI changes tend to generate heated disagreement. I 
want to get that out of the way up front: Who here objects to removing the 
interest and payment transfer automatic popups and the interest payment button 
on the reconcile info dialog, and what compelling reason do you have for 
objecting?

I don’t use the interest feature, as I have the credit card paid off every 
month by direct debit, and have never paid interest.

I do use the automatic payment feature (from bank to credit card), and find it 
helpful, but not essential. If it were withdrawn I expect it would take a while 
to get out of old habits (ten years since I first started using GC!), but I’d 
cope.

Regards,

Michael
