Abstract

In some examples, a payment service receives transaction information of transactions performed between a plurality of users of the payment service. The payment service determines terms for a first user to finance, for a second user, at least part of an amount of a payment. The terms are determined based on at least one of: a) transaction information associated with the first user; (b) transaction information of at least one related user; or (c) transaction information associated with the second user. The payment service transmits the terms to the first user and the second user. The payment service subsequently receives funds from the second user, and provides the funds to the first user as repayment for at least the part of the amount of the payment financed by the first user.
