Bank Account
Bank Accounts represent the financial accounts used by Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) to manage the movement of funds related to lending operations. These accounts play an important role in controlling loan disbursements, managing repayments, and maintaining accurate financial records.
In Frappe Lending, Bank Account records allow users to map disbursement and payment accounts, ensuring proper tracking of outgoing loan funds and incoming borrower payments.
