What Is a Share Secured Loan?
A Share Secured Loan is backed by the money you already have in your savings account. Instead of spending your savings, you use them as security for your loan.
Your funds remain on deposit while you repay the loan, helping you:
- Maintain your savings balance
- Access cash when needed
- Build positive payment history
- Improve your overall credit profile
Once the loan is paid off, your full savings balance becomes available again.
