What is a Personal Loan?

A personal loan is a short-term, secured or unsecured, installment loan or revolving line of credit that caters to your financial needs, such as home improvements, vehicle repairs, medical bills, a vacation, or unexpected expenses. Borrowers receive their loan funds in either one lump sum or as a line of credit.

A secured personal loan is a loan secured by an asset, such as a certificate of deposit, stocks, cash-value of life insurance, or other investment types.
