Unsecured loan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Unsecured loans are loans that are not guaranteed with any asset, so that the risk of repossession does not exist. Though the lender can still take legal action in order to recover the money, such a legal process would be significantly longer and more expensive than with secured loans.

Typical unsecured loans are credit card debt, bank overdrafts, and personal loans.

When a customer withdraws more money than is in their bank account, the money owed to the bank is called a bank overdraft.

Many financial institutions offer personal unsecured loans to individuals needing quick cash for major purchases, emergency health bills, etc. [2]
