What is velocity banking?

Velocity banking is a debt payoff strategy: instead of parking income in a checking account and making minimum payments, you direct your full monthly cashflow at a debt to collapse its payoff timeline. Every extra dollar of principal paid early eliminates all the future interest that dollar would have generated.

Why the timeline matters more than the rate

A $15,000 debt at 8% APR costs very different amounts depending on speed: paid off over 5 years it generates thousands in interest; paid off in 20 months, a fraction of that.

Track the whole system, not one debt

Velocity banking works best as a repeating cycle: collapse one debt, redirect its payment into the next, and stack the freed-up cashflow.
