What are the pros and cons of secured loans versus unsecured loans? First, you’ve got to know which is which. Then, the loan experts of Tio Rico Te Ayuda can help you determine which type of borrowed cash is right for your situation.

Secured Loans - Think of it this way—if you don’t repay the borrowed money, you will forfeit some valuable asset, such as your home or automobile. Secured loans are for larger sums of money, usually towards a major purchase. Collateral is required. In most cases, the interest rates are lower, the repayment terms are longer and the borrowed amount is higher.

Unsecured Loans - Your financial standing (credit score, bank account balance etc) determines if a lender will approve you for an unsecured loan. This loan type is ideal for short term loans and comparatively low amount personal loans. Payday loans or cash loans are good examples of unsecured loans. In many cases, lenders will approve loans even if you have poor or no credit, depending on the amount you need and how long it will take you to pay the borrowed cash back. Interest rates are usually significantly higher, and repayment terms shorter, based on the fact that the lender has no collateral to guarantee repayment.
