### **Creating Loan Product**

#### Creating loan product for your clients :

&#x20;   7\. Once you are done with the above steps, all that's left is to approve the loan product you wish to add.

#### Making repayments for your client's loan product :

To add repayments for your client's loan product, follow these steps:

1. Go to your client's data once more by navigating to **Clients** → **Clients** from the top bar and clicking on your client's name.
2. The loan account you wish to add a repayment for has to be accepted and disbursed first.
3. Select the loan product you want to repay and click on the **dollar sign** to make the repayment.
4. Fill in the required details.
5. Once the repayment is added successfully, it will be shown on the client's repayments list.

#### Rescheduling the client's loan account :

You can also reschedule the client's loan account by going to **More** → **Reschedule** in your client's loan account selections.
