financed

Paid for initially

Financed is the past tense and past participle of finance, meaning to provide money for a purchase, project, or enterprise.

When something is financed, the funds have been secured or supplied: The renovation was financed by a bank loan.

The word often implies that payment occurs over time rather than all at once, as with a financed car or home.

Something can be financed through loans, investors, grants, or personal savings.
