What is the difference between an Unsecured and Secured Loan?

The main difference is collateral: an unsecured loan does not require collateral, while a secured loan does. That means you’ll pay higher interest, but the loan might be more accessible to you. In other words, some of the key differences are:

Unsecured Loan

Not tied to collateral
Quick process for lower lending amounts
Typically has shorter terms

Examples of Elements unsecured loans:

Secured Loan

Connected to a piece of collateral
The lender can take possession of the collateral if you do not repay the loan as agreed
Typically has lower interest rates
Can be easier to get if you need to rebuild credit

Examples of Elements secured loans:

Home Equity Line of Credit - uses your home as collateral
Home Equity Loan - uses your home as collateral
Certificate Loan - uses your Elements Certificate as collateral
Stock-Secured Loan and Line of Credit - uses stocks you own as collateral
