Abstract
Some examples include providing an application for installation on a user device of a user of a payment service, and receiving transaction data associated with transactions of the user. A request to finance a transaction for the user is received via a user interface of the application. Based on the received transaction data, terms for financing the transaction are determined, with one term including a down payment to be satisfied prior to the user receiving the financing. The financed funds are accessible via a payment instrument that is initially associated with a locked state. After the down payment has been satisfied, the payment instrument is unlocked and becomes usable in the unlocked state. A payment request associated with the transaction includes payment data associated with the payment instrument. Based on receiving the payment request, the financing is issued and a repayment schedule is generated based on the terms.
