Interim loans are used to provide funding on an as‐needed basis during project construction. Interim loans pay monthly interest on the total balance outstanding plus any current negative balance. Internal Bank funds are advanced, up to the maximum loan amount, as the project requires. Principal payments are typically not made on interim loans during the construction process except when pledges are received for gift funded loans.
Permanent loans are used for asset purchases and when no additional internal bank lending is available or required for a project. Debt service payments are recorded on a semi‐annual basis to repay the project's total loan balance amortized per the terms of the internal financing agreement.
