What is an Unsecured Loan?​

There are two types of personal loans, secured and unsecured. An unsecured personal loan is not guaranteed by an asset, so approval depends on your creditworthiness and income. You can choose from different loan amounts and term lengths to apply for.

Both unsecured and cash secured personal loans are term loans, meaning you borrow a lump sum and repay it, plus interest, in fixed monthly payments over a predetermined period of time. The difference is that a secured loan is attached to a savings account, meaning you have to already have enough in your personal savings or CD account to borrow against.

Benefits of Unsecured Personal Loans​

If your credit is good enough to qualify for an unsecured personal loan, you don’t need to have enough in savings to offer as collateral. Plus, you’ll avoid a freeze on your savings account while the loan is repaid.

Benefits include

  • Flexible: Use it for anything. Variety of loan amounts and term lengths available.
  • Swift Decision making: Apply for a personal loan and find out within 24 hours if you’ve been approved or not.
  • No Collateral: Approval for an unsecured loan is based on your creditworthiness, so you don’t need to use a savings account or CD as collateral.
