What Is A Certificate Secured Loan
|
A secured loan is a type of loan where the borrower has to offer an asset as collateral to the bank or lender. If the borrower fails to repay the loan amount, the lender can take possession of the collateral.

In the same way a certificate secured loan is a type of secured loan where the borrower pledges his share certificate as collateral to get the loan.
Certificate secured loans have many advantages over unsecured loans. As a borrower, you can borrow larger sums of money. You will also get a longer repayment period which can even stretch to 30 years if the need arises.
Many people opt for certificate secured loans if they do not want to take money from their savings account. They can pledge their share certificate, borrow money at a lower interest rate but still earn dividends on the share certificate.
A certificate secured loan is an excellent way to build your credit and borrow money while protecting your savings. You are entitled to borrow up to 75 percent of the initial deposit in the certificate account and term of the certificate secured loan is generally until the maturity date of the share certificate.
When taking a certificate secured loan, you can choose between monthly payments or a lump sum payment. If you are taking monthly payments, you can borrow up to 100 percent of the certificate balance. However, if it a lump sum payment, you can borrow up to 80 percent of the certificate balance.
If you have shares, it is a good idea to convert them to share certificates so that you can easily avail certificate secured loans without any problems or hassles.
