A loan system program comprises a loan account having a loan principal on
a purchased item, and a secondary account used to pay the amortized
interest on the loan principal. A user deposits, such as through
automatic deposit, user payments directly into the loan account, thus
paying down the loan principal. The user then uses the secondary account
for personal expenses that would otherwise be met by the deposited user
payments. At the end of the month or grace period, the user pays off the
monthly interest on the loan account with the secondary account. The
lender than raises the loan balance of the loan account to cover the
secondary account balance. At least a portion of the next user deposit to
the loan account covers the raise loan balance, and another portion is
used to pay down the loan principal.
