What is an Unsecured Loan?

An Unsecured Loan, also referred to as a signature loan, allows you to borrow money without needing assets like a savings account or CD to back the loan. These personal loans are unsecured, which means they are not backed by collateral, offering a flexible solution to help with home improvements, consolidate debt, cover student loans, or manage unexpected expenses — all while keeping your savings intact.1

Because unsecured loans don’t require collateral, they often come with a fixed interest rate that may be higher than that of cash secured loans. Your interest rate, loan terms, and credit limit are based on your credit history and overall financial profile.

It only takes a few steps to get started.
