Unsecured Loan

An unsecured loan is a loan that isn’t backed by collateral. Lenders rely on the borrower’s creditworthiness and financial stability. Because of higher risk, unsecured loans often carry higher interest rates. Examples include credit cards, personal loans, and some types of corporate financing.
