Waterfall Payment Definition
Waterfall payments are part of complex payment arrangements involving multiple loans of differing priority (split into tranches). Generally, higher-interest loans receive interest and principal payments before lower-interest-rate loans receive any payment of principle. The lower rate loans are paid only interest until the more expensive loans are paid in full. Most waterfall payment schemes become complex by only paying the minimum interest to all tiers or loan tranches during each payment cycle.
