A little knowledge is dangerous.

You found the right terms but totally missed the meaning. Daily accrual means that your interest for that day is calculated daily. It doesn't mean the interest rate is 2.4% a day.

Did you even think about this logically? 2.4% a day would be 876% a year. That's obviously insane.

2.4% a day would be 574756% a year (yes 5747 fold). Compound interest FTW! (or For The Bankruptcy in this case)
