Installment Loans

The payment deferrals experience has been enhanced to allow future dated payment deferrals. Deferring any future upcoming payments will create a deferral period for the loan, pushing any future due balances to maturity date.

  • You can defer past-due, current, and future due dates to the maturity date through a single API request.
  • Once any payment has been deferred, the amortization schedule in CanopyOS will update itself to communicate what amounts have been deferred, with their balances being reflected on the payment due date to which they had been deferred. An example of this is present below.

In the following example, the current (02/02) and future payment dates (03/02-05/02) have been deferred to the maturity date. Any due balances in the deferral period from 02/02-05/02 are now reflected as due in the maturity cycle.

Installment Loans

Payment deferrals allow you to provide temporary payment relief for borrowers experiencing hardship while maintaining their repayment commitment. Here are a few options to start.

  • You can defer either past-due and/or current obligations in the current installment period to the maturity date.
  • Deferring the past-due obligations of a delinquent account will automatically mark that account as non-delinquent.
  • After payments are deferred, the amortization schedule in CanopyOS will update itself to communicate what amounts have been deferred and to what date they were deferred to. The screenshots below illustrate this change.

Here is an example of a 6-month term loan where the borrower is able to make their first two payments, but suppose we learn they are unable to make their next payment on time.

Your risk team can then review their case and agree to grant the borrower more time to repay that obligation by shifting the due date of that amount to the maturity date.

Here is what the same schedule looks like after the deferral is executed.

Currently a Beta of Payment Deferrals is available through our API, and soon we will allow users to initiate these deferrals through CanopyOS as well.

Data Direct

During a recent review, we identified incorrect values in the Past Due report for the stabilization_payment and delinquent_as_of_date fields.

In line with the documentation and to ensure data accuracy, these fields will be updated and set to null. This change ensures consistency with the intended data structure and improves the reliability of the report moving forward.
