Temporary loans are used to provide funding on an as‐needed basis during project construction. Temporary 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 temporary loans with the exception of gift funded loans where principal amounts may be paid during the construction process as gift funds are received.
Permanent loans are used for asset purchases or when a construction project is substantially complete. Debt service payments on permanent loans to amortize the project’s cost over the stated loan term are made on a semi‐annual basis.
