The credit line is a loan product that allows borrowers to access and repay loans flexibly. It is granted as a one-time or revolving limit.
Tuum supports two different types of credit lines:
Line of credit - a loan product that, once paid off, means the available credit limit is no longer accessible.
Revolving credit line - a loan product where the credit limit is restored after partial or complete repayment, allowing the borrower to reuse it again.
Let us consider an example to illustrate the difference between the line of credit and revolving credit. We will consider a credit line and a revolving credit line with identical, fully withdrawn credit limits of EUR 1000.
Available limit = 0 EUR
Principle balance = 1000 EUR
When a borrower repays 200 EUR, the line of credit and revolving credit products will behave differently.
The line of credit reduces the principal balance by the repayment amount.
The revolving credit reduces the principal balance by the repayment amount and adds the repayment amount to the available limit.
Available limit = 0 EUR
Principle balance = 800 EUR
Available limit = 200 EUR
Principle balance = 800 EUR
