Types of Loans

2. Secured Loans
A loan in which the borrower pledges some asset as collateral.
Ex: Mortgages have liens on them until paid off… this means the bank would have the legal right to repossess the house to recover sums owed.

3. Unsecured Loans Not secured against the borrower’s assets.
Interest rates usually higher than secured loans
The lender must sue the borrower to get money if not paid back.
Ex: credit card debt, bank overdrafts, lines of credit, etc.

4. Demand Loans

Can be “called” for repayment by the lending institution at any time.
