  • Publication number: 20060178987
    Abstract: Systems and methods for re-amortizing a borrower's monthly payments for collection and payment to a lender. The method includes determining an electronic payment term cycle, which includes one or more of monthly payment cycles and each monthly payment cycle includes one or more collection days periodically occurring according to a collection cycle. An optimal derivative payment is then determined based on a monthly payment of the original loan, the loan term, and the electronic payment term cycle. The optimal derivative payment is withdrawn from an account associated with the borrower on a collection day and is placed into a separate account. A deposit is also placed into the separate account, where the deposit amount is diminished at a rate based on the electronic payment term cycle. A payment is then made to the lender on the payment date of the original loan from the funds accumulated in the separate account.
