Signature Loans

An unsecured loan (signature loan) is not backed by collateral, and hence represents much greater risk to the lender. The lender may require and ask for a co-signer (a person who will vouch for you) on the loan to reduce their risk. If you can't repay the loan, the co-signer will be held responsible for loan repayment.

Most of the educational loans are signature loans (also called unsecured loans). In the case of federal student loans, the US Federal Government guarantees repayment of the loans. Other examples of unsecured loans include credit card charges and personal lines of credit, for example, advanced payday loans or cash advance loans.

So what is the difference between unsecured and secured home loan?
In a secured home loan, the property is the collateral. The borrower risks losing the property if the loan is not repaid according to the terms of the mortgage.
