Debt Settlement

Debt settlement involves negotiating with creditors to reduce the amount owed on a loan. Some online lending apps offer debt settlement options for borrowers struggling to repay their loans.

Discretionary Credit

Discretionary credit is the amount a lender is willing to offer based on the borrower’s financial situation, including income and creditworthiness. It’s typically used for small personal loans or cash advances.

Debt-to-Income Ratio (DTI)

The debt-to-income ratio is a financial measure that compares an individual’s monthly debt payments to their monthly income. A high DTI ratio may indicate a higher risk for lenders, as it suggests the borrower may struggle to manage additional debt.

E-signature

An e-signature is a digital signature used to sign loan documents electronically. Many online lending apps use e-signatures for faster loan processing and to reduce paperwork.

Early Repayment

Early repayment occurs when the borrower pays off the loan before the due date. Some lenders offer incentives or discounts for early repayment, while others may charge a prepayment penalty to discourage it.
