repayments

Settling borrowed sums

Repayments are payments made to return money that was borrowed or owed.

The term typically appears in financial contexts—loan repayments, mortgage repayments, debt repayments: Monthly repayments on the car loan were $350.

Repayment can also be figurative, suggesting reciprocation for a favor or wrong: His betrayal was repayment for years of loyalty.
