What are the differences between secured and unsecured personal loans?
Secured personal loans require collateral, like property or a car, which the lender can seize if the borrower fails to repay. Due to reduced lender risk, secured personal loans often have lower interest rates. Unsecured personal loans, on the other hand, do not require collateral, relying on the borrower’s creditworthiness instead. These types of loans typically have higher interest rates and stricter eligibility requirements.
