Terms for loan repayments / reimbursements

- Repayments are subject to funding
- Repayments are subject to pre-approval of the expense

Why use delayed repayments / reimbursements?
The 1 week minimum delay ensures that payments using cyrptocurrencies are not subject to speculation, on both parties.
Repayments and reimbursements are subject to funding, this sometimes means that members have wait until there are enough donations to cover their repayment.
However, if the member is in need of the repayment / reimbursement straight away then other members may choose to cover the repayment / reimbursements whenever possible.
