What is a Personal Loan?
A personal loan is money borrowed in a one-time amount that you pay back in fixed monthly payments over a certain period of time. Typically, personal loans are unsecured which means they are not backed by things such as a car, house, etc. However, credit and proof of income are required for eligibility in most cases.
What is a Personal Line of Credit and Secured Line of Credit?
A line of credit, whether it be personal or secured is a revolving account in which a borrower can draw from when they need it. Similar to a credit card there’s a limit on the amount someone can borrow and the amount borrowed must be paid back. Personal lines of credit are typically unsecured and require good credit scores and proof of income. Similarly, secured lines of credit work the same, however savings accounts are used as collateral.
