Methods and apparatus for providing a reverse auction are presented. A network based multi-directional and/or multi-dimensional reverse auction is described in which lender bid for loan terms and priority. A borrower provides loan terms, such as desired loan amount and optionally provides minimal loan requirements. Multiple bidders (1) select position, such as first, second, or third position; (2) designate loan terms, such as interest rate and amortization period; and (3) designate compatibility requirements of other lenders in terms of position and loan terms. A loan coordinator combines fractional interests of multiple bidders to yield (1) the borrower's requirement; (2) minimizing borrower's terms; (3) fulfilling a lender's term and position requirements; and (4) fulfilling lender compatibility requirements. Optionally, a loan servicing coordinator manages the loans. Optional fees for services rendered are provided.
