Re: About support for revolving credit in Fineract

[Ed Cable]

Niklas,

A number of other users in the community are also exploring revolving line
of credit support and building it out on Fineract 1.x or Fineract CN.

Prakash has led efforts to draft an initial requirements doc/spec that
we're continuing to expand. I will share that here and also add to the page
that Vishwas had previously created.


 RCF_Requirements



We welcome your input on the requirements needed and I can set up a call
with Prakash to discuss that further. I would like to get all these
requirements documented publicly so we can mobilize efforts to get proper
support built out in the platform that meets most of the common
requirements across the community.


We also had this Google Doc in the past which was exploring some of the
various distinctions amongst line of credit products:

That is correct. You would need to make changes similar to those at 
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FINERACT/Line+of+Credit to support 
this functionality in Fineract

RE: About support for revolving credit in Fineract

[Niklas Uhrberg]

I tried configuring a savings account with a positive overdraft limit and this 
may be a usable setup to get the "credit card behaviour" .

Let's assume that the desired behaviour is the following cycle:

1. The customer uses the card connected to the overdraft savings account to 
make purchases for the month October.
2. After the end of the month there is a bill to be payed with the total sum of 
purchases. If this bill is payed on time no interest should be accrued, only if 
the credit is prolonged.

This is a common setup and I don't know if this would be be supported as is in 
Fineract.

Please let med know if this is possible with the current implementation.

BR Niklas

Hello Niklas,

Have you explored the option of overdraft savings account?

With a credit card facility, you are normally given a limit and there is no 
fixed repayment schedule..

With the OD account available in Fineract 1.x, you can specify overdraft limit 
and configure other terms as applicable in credit card accounts.
