KATIE'S CREDIT GLOSSARY

AMORTIZE

Repayment of a loan by installments; an accounting procedure allowing gradual repayment (retirement) of a debt by means of systematic payments of principal and interest over a period of the estimated life of the asset on which the loan is made or secured. For fixed assets, depreciation is the allowance for wear-out. For natural resources, depletion is the allowance for the wasting away of the asset.
