Is there any way to achieve what we are looking for? Unfortunately, I can't think of any way to do this other than manually as we have no ability to set limits on withdrawals other than based on the minimal balance. Manual workaround would be: - Add a payment type of "interest payment" and add this to savings deposits - Do all interest posting manually Obviously, for a large mfi this is less than desirable.

This is the only workaround I could think of. Although, you might follow the manual workaround I listed above by adding a payment type of interest posting and do it manually. Do be warned, you may have to account for this exception when reporting to your accounting system.
