Unsecured Loan
DEFINITION
An unsecured loan is a loan that does not require collateral. Instead of relying on assets as security, lenders decide whether to approve the loan based on the borrower's creditworthiness, such as credit score. Examples include personal loans, credit cards, and student loans.
