1. What can be used as collateral?
Several types of assets may be used as collateral. For example, motor vehicles, insurance policies and property. Remember though, a collateral loan is a secure facility. This means, in order to qualify, a guarantee covering the value of the loan is required. If the borrower fails to meet the repayment obligations, the lender may sell the collateral to recoup the loan amount.
2. How much can be borrowed?
The value of the loan is usually a percentage of the item being used as collateral. In most cases, borrowers can obtain a loan equivalent to 30% to 50% of the value of the collateral. In some cases, lenders will undertake their own valuations of certain items to determine their true worth.
3. How much will monthly repayments amount to?
Taking a loan with burdensome repayment terms is a recipe for defaulting. Your monthly repayment must be manageable and must fit in your budget. The period for the repayment of a collateral loan can range from as little as 30 days to as long as 12 months and in some cases even longer.
4. How costly are collateral loans?
In addition to paying back what is borrowed, borrowers will be required to pay the accrued interest. They may also be charged processing fees. It’s important to find out if there are any other hidden fees to prevent any surprise.
5. How soon after the application is the loan disbursed?
The period between application, approval and disbursement can vary. The process may be expedited, however, if the borrower has the appropriate documentation to prove ownership of the collateral to be used as security. The lender will also need time to undertake the necessary due diligence.
