About Loan Accounts
A loan account is a specific instance of a loan product. A loan account has a unique account number, a specified interest rate, and it is owned by one, and only one, financial institution client.

A client may be an individual or a group. |
A loan account can be created for loan products that are active in Mifos. When a loan account is created, it inherits the rules and defaults from the loan product definition. Some of the inherited information may be modified, depending on the loan product definition.
A client may have multiple simultaneous loan accounts within the financial institution's policies, defined in the Product Mix.
Loan accounts can be opened only for active clients.
Charges (fees and penalties) can be charged to loan accounts in three ways:
- Charges are inherited from the product definition. A loan office officer may have the ability to remove one or more of these charges for a loan account. If a charge is removed from a one loan account, it does not affect other loan accounts.
- Charges (not yet associated with the loan account) can be selected and attached to the loan account.
- Miscellaneous charges (one time charge) can be charged to a loan account. The loan officer specifies the amount, which is added in the next payment.
The loan account lifecycle is illustrated in the Mifos X Loan Account Lifecycle diagram. Loan account states are visually indicated in Mifos X using the color scheme illustrated in the Mifos X Loan Account Lifecycle diagram.
