Loan Amendment: Definition & Sample

Trustpilot

A loan amendment is a legally bound modification to the terms and conditions of an already-existing loan agreement. If a lender or a borrower needs changes made to the original loan agreement, they will use a loan amendment to outline the terms and conditions of those modifications.

Loan amendments are permanent changes and can include items such as the loan's interest rate, changing the length of terms, and the repayment schedule. In addition, a loan amendment clearly outlines the new expectations of the loan agreement for both the borrower and the lender.
