UNDERSTANDING LOANS.
A loan is a commitment that you (the borrower) will receive money from a lender, and you will pay back the total borrowed, with added interest, over a defined time period. The terms of each loan are defined in a contract provided by the lender.
A loan gives you access to the cash you need today, and lets you repay those funds over a period of time. In exchange for this convenience, you’ll need to pay extra fees in the form of interest. It’s important to understand the basics, such as how much you can afford to borrow, what your responsibilities are, and how much your loan will cost you. That way, you can maintain a good credit rating, minimize your costs, and continue to enjoy the best rates and terms on all our loan products.
When used wisely, a loan can help you achieve your financial and personal goals quicker. It can help you make a big purchase fast, take advantage of a great investment
opportunity, or pay less interest on your credit card balances or other debts. It can also give you the funds you need to go back to school or pay for your children’s education.
LOAN TERMINOLOGY.
The terms associated with a loan are contained within a promissory note. These terms may include the following:
A. The interest rate to be paid by the borrower, which may be a variable or fixed rate.
B. The maturity date of the loan.
C. The size and dates of the payments to be made to the lender.
D. The amount of any collateral to be posted against the note.
TYPES OF LOANS.
1. Secured Loans.
Secured loans are business or personal loans that require some type of collateral as a
condition of borrowing. A bank or lender can request collateral for large loans for which the money is being used to purchase a specific asset or in cases where your credit scores aren’t sufficient to qualify for an unsecured loan. Secured loans may allow borrowers to enjoy lower interest rates, as they present a lower risk to lenders. However, certain types of secured loans—including bad credit personal loans and short-term installment loans—can carry higher interest rates.
TYPES OF SECURED LOANS.
Secured loans can be used for a number of different purposes. For example, if you’re
borrowing money for personal uses, secured loan options can include:
* Vehicle loans
* Mortgage loans
* Share-secured or savings-secured Loans
* Secured credit cards
* Secured lines of credit
* Car title loans
* Pawnshop loans
* Life insurance loans
* Bad credit loans
2. UNSECURED LOANS.
An Unsecured Loan is a loan that does not require you to provide any collateral to avail them. It is issued to you by the lender on your creditworthiness as a borrower. And hence, having an excellent credit score is a prerequisite for the approval of an Unsecured Loan.
TYPES OF UNSECURED LOANS.
Unsecured loans include :
* Personal loans
* Student loans
* Credit cards—all of which can be revolving or term loans.
A revolving loan is a loan that has a credit limit that can be spent, repaid, and spent
again. Examples of revolving unsecured loans include credit cards and personal lines of credit.
A term loan, in contrast, is a loan that the borrower repays in equal installments until
the loan is paid off at the end of its term. While these types of loans are often affiliated with secured loans, there are also unsecured term loans. A consolidation loan to pay off credit card debt or a signature loan from a bank would also be considered unsecured term loans.

credit-builder loan, you make fixed payments to a lender and then get access to the loan amount at the end of the loan’s term.
DEBT CONSOLIDATION LOANS.

loan, generally for $500 or less, that is typically due on your next payday.
INTEREST ON LOANS.

ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES OF LOANS :
ADVANTAGES.
Flexibility: A bank loan allows one to repay as per convenience as long as the instalments are regular and timely. Unlike an overdraft where all the credit is deducted in go. Or a consumer credit card where the maximum limit cannot be utilised in one go.
DISADVANTAGES.
