Understanding Loan Dates

Each loan in the system is associated with several key dates:

1. Start Date: The date when the loan application was submitted.

2. Disbursement Date: This is the date when the loan funds are transferred to the Customer’s account.

3. Installment Date: The date when the installment payments are due according to the schedule

4. First Due Date: This is the first installment date (the date when the first loan repayment is due). By default, it is the Disbursement Date plus the first repayment period (e.g. if the loan is to be repaid monthly, the “first due date” is one month after the disbursement date).

What Can Be Changed

If the Due Dates toggles are off, the dates are assigned automatically and cannot be edited.

When a loan is created in the system, the Back-office user can be allowed to reset the loan start date. This way they can specify the planned start date for assessing the loan and gathering additional details about the customer.

If this setting is enabled, the start date will be reset by default.

By default, the first due date is set to one installment period after the disbursement date. However, there may be instances where this date needs to be adjusted, such as when a customer requests to align their monthly installments with a specific payment date.

Date Rolling allows the adjustment of due dates that fall on holidays or weekends.
For example, if an installment due date falls on a weekend, it will be rescheduled to the following Monday.
