PaymentGroup

A PaymentGroup is a collection into which some Servicers organize borrower Loans. These groups are very Servicer-specific. Some Servicers will group loans by loan type, others by federal student loan programs, and still others by a combination of factors like type, interest rate, disbursements, and more.

📘
A PaymentGroup often provides the most accurate data for highly important properties—such as monthly payment, past due amounts, fees, transaction amounts, and more. Take particular note of the monthly_payment.estimated value—when true, this means Payitoff has determined the exact dollar amount of a group-level monthly payment, from which loan-level monthly payments will be calculated to be as accurate as possible, even when a Servicer doesn't directly expose loan-level payment info.
