Velocity Banking Strategy
How velocity banking works and how VestmentPulse calculates your split payments.
What is velocity banking?
Velocity banking is a debt payoff strategy that uses a line of credit (often a HELOC) as a checking account to accelerate mortgage payoff by directing large principal chunks at your highest-interest debt.
How VestmentPulse models it
When you add an investment with a Split Payment configured, VestmentPulse tracks:
- Full payment — your standard monthly payment
- Split payment — the extra principal chunk directed at a target debt
- Cashflow — net income after both payments
Setting up velocity banking
- Open an investment and scroll to Split Payment
- Enter the amount you're chunking from this investment's cashflow toward a target debt
- VestmentPulse subtracts this from net cashflow and shows your accelerated payoff timeline
The Income Stacking connection
As investments pay off debts, freed-up cashflow gets redirected into more investments — this compounding effect is the core of Income Stacking. Your dashboard tracks the net result in real time.
