Collateral is an asset pledged by a borrower to secure a loan or credit, ensuring repayment in case the borrower defaults.

What types of collateral are commonly used?

Common types of collateral include real estate, cash, stocks, bonds, inventory, and equipment. The type of collateral used depends on the nature of the loan and the asset’s value.

What happens if I default on a loan with collateral?

If you default on a loan, the lender can seize the collateral and sell it to recover the loan amount. This may result in the loss of the asset pledged as collateral.
