Schalteraushang

English translation: as posted on tellers' windows

German to English translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Finance (general)
German term or phrase: Schalteraushang
This is about an investment product:
"Guthaben auf dem Verrechnungskonto werden jeweils mit dem aktuellen Zinssatz für ___ gemäß Schalteraushang verzinst."
The portion "___" is the product's name.

My problem is Schalteraushang - can I translate it in the sense of "the bank's applicable interest rates in effect, as published in the general terms and conditions (which shall be made available to customers in the bank's premises)"? (The translation won't be that long, of course... :) )

Or is it rather just "applicable daily rates"? (Exchange rates may change within a day, also at the cash desk, but interest rates don't.)

The difference between the two expressions is zero in real life, I know, but I'd like to stick to an exact translation.

TIA.

Thanks, I also prefer "as indicated" because from the rest of the document it is clear that this will not be a retail investor and will hardly ever go to the bank at all.
