Loan Servicing

Event-sourced subledger. Deterministic math. Enforcement-grade audit trails. Loan servicing for CDFIs and small lenders.

For
CDFIs, community development lenders, credit unions, and small lending institutions managing loan portfolios
Outcome
Auditable loan lifecycle management with deterministic math, versioned schedules, and subledger/GL reconciliation
01

The Problem

CDFIs and small lenders manage loan portfolios with spreadsheets or fragile legacy systems. Interest accrual is manual. Amortization schedules live in Excel files that diverge from the ledger. There is no subledger/GL reconciliation. No covenant monitoring. No immutable event trail.

When an auditor asks to reconstruct a loan balance from origination to present, the answer should not require opening six spreadsheets.

What You Get

Full Loan Lifecycle
Originate, accrue, pay, payoff, refinance. Every state change is an immutable event with a corresponding journal entry.
6 Instrument Types
Term, revolving, construction, bridge, interest-only, balloon. Each with appropriate amortization and payment behavior.
3 Day-Count Conventions
Actual/365, Actual/360, 30/360. Set per loan, enforced by a deterministic math engine with reproducible results.
Versioned Schedules
Amortization schedules are never edited. Changes create a new version with a supersede chain. Full history preserved.
Daily Interest Accrual
Automated daily computation with period-close GL posting. Economic vs. posted balance distinction by design.
Subledger Reconciliation
Daily verification that subledger balances match GL control accounts. Mismatches flagged as critical health alerts.
Covenant Monitoring
DSCR, reserve ratio, delinquency, insurance covenants evaluated automatically with breach effect enforcement.
Enforcement Guards
Three guards evaluate every loan transaction: covenant compliance, payment split validation, interest calculation verification.
SHA-256 Verification
Balance snapshots include cryptographic hashes of the underlying event chain. Tamper-evident by construction.
03

Deterministic Math Engine

The math engine is a pure function layer with no database access. Same inputs produce the same outputs. Interest computation, payment splitting, amortization generation, and schedule validation are all deterministic and reproducible.

day_count_fraction(start, end, convention) → Decimal
compute_daily_interest(principal, rate_bps, convention, start, end) → Decimal, dict
split_payment(amount, accrued_interest, accrued_fees, order) → dict
generate_amortization_schedule(principal, rate_bps, term, ...) → list[dict]
compute_verification_hash(events_data) → str (SHA-256)
Every balance is reproducible. Given the origination event, the schedule version, and the event stream, any loan balance can be independently reconstructed. The verification hash proves the event chain has not been altered.

Architecture Properties

Loan servicing runs on the same enforcement engine as CommunityPay's HOA accounting and trust accounting. The properties that make institutional accounting work apply equally to loan portfolio management.

01
Single posting interface. Every loan origination, accrual, payment, and payoff flows through JournalEngine. No direct database writes to the general ledger.
02
Event-sourced subledger. Every loan state change is an immutable LoanEvent. Balances are derived from events, not stored directly. Append-only by design.
03
Mandatory enforcement. Three guards evaluate every loan transaction: LoanCovenantGuard (DSCR, reserves), PaymentSplitGuard (P+I+F validation), InterestCalculationGuard (accrual math).
04
Immutable audit trail. LoanEvents cannot be edited after creation. Every enforcement decision is logged with a full signal snapshot. Schedule versions form a chain.
05
Two-tier reconciliation. Posted subledger balance equals GL balance at all times. Economic balance (including unposted daily accrual) reconciles at period close.
05

Borrower Loan Management

For lenders who allocate debt service to multiple borrowers, the system supports sub-loan origination with configurable allocation strategies: equal per borrower, by square footage, by ownership percentage, or custom. Each borrower loan has its own event stream, balance snapshots, and payment history.

Questions

What is an event-sourced loan subledger?
Every loan state change (origination, accrual, payment, payoff, rate reset) is recorded as an immutable event. Balances are derived from the event stream, not stored directly. This means every balance can be independently reconstructed from the event history.
How does subledger reconciliation work?
The debt subledger computes loan balances from events and mirrors them to the general ledger via posted journal entries. A daily reconciliation verifies that posted subledger balances match GL control account balances exactly. Mismatches are flagged as critical health alerts.
Do I need to use CommunityPay's HOA features?
No. Loan servicing works as a standalone product. CDFIs and small lenders sign up, select Loan Servicing, and get a simplified interface focused on loan portfolio management. No HOA features are visible.
What day-count conventions are supported?
Three conventions: Actual/365, Actual/360, and 30/360. The convention is set per loan and enforced deterministically by the math engine. All computations are reproducible from inputs.

Pricing

Simple, flat pricing. No per-transaction fees. No accrual surcharges.

Tier Monthly
CommunityPay accounting subscribers Included
Standalone — up to 50 loans $50
Standalone — 51+ loans $100 (cap)
Every tier includes: Unlimited borrowers, daily interest accrual, versioned schedules, subledger/GL reconciliation, covenant monitoring, enforcement guards, rollforward reports. Processing fees passed through at cost.

A loan is an active lending instrument — term, revolving, construction, bridge, interest-only, or balloon. Paid-off and draft loans are not counted.

Both products, one subscription. Trust Accounting and Loan Servicing are both included under the same CommunityPay subscription. CommunityPay accounting subscribers get both at no additional cost. Standalone pricing applies only if you use Loan Servicing or Trust Accounting without a CommunityPay accounting subscription.
Loan portfolio management, auditable.

Same enforcement engine. Same immutable audit trails. Purpose-built for community development lending.
