Frequently Asked Questions When is the best time to buy or sell a loan? What is the transfer certificate? The best time to buy a loan is just before a repayment is due (check the repayment history to see if this has been made) and the best time to sell is just after a repayment has come in to receive the interest. The transfer certificate indicates the transfer of the rights of the loan to the Borrower from the old Lender (Seller) to the new Lender (Buyer). The transfer certificate is generated for both parties (Buyer and Seller) on the acceptance of an offer from a buyer to purchase the loan on sale. What happens if the offer to buy a loan is equal or greater than the asking price? When the asking price is matched or bettered, the offer from the Buyer will automatically be accepted and a transfer certificate generated to both parties. When will I receive my first payment from the Borrower after my offer is accepted? When will I not be able to sell my loan? All payments, after the transfer of rights, will be paid to the new owner of the loan (Buyer). The first payment will be made on the next payment date as displayed on the screen when making an offer to buy the loan. Loans are temporarily unavailable to sell 5 days before and 5 days after the loan's repayment day or cycle day. Loans can also not be sold in the first and last month of repayment.
