Collateral

Published 11 Aug 2020

Also called a "security", a collateral is any asset that a borrower pledges to a lender when applying for a secured personal loan. Having a security gives lenders greater assurance that the borrower will work towards paying off their loan. Otherwise, if the borrower defaults on their loan, the lender can repossess the collateral to earn back what they lost.
