What is a Loan?

A loan is a sum of money which is borrowed from a creditor or lender for which you make repayments with fees and charges. There are generally two types of loans: secured or unsecured loans.

A secured loan is a loan that is secured by an asset, such as a car or property. The secured asset may be sold by the lender to recover any outstanding loan where agreed repayments cannot be met. Secured loans generally have lower fees and charges as the lender reduces its risk by taking a charge over the secured asset. Having a poor credit score, could make it difficult for you to be approved for a secured loan.

Unsecured loans do not require any security. Thus, fees charged on unsecured loans are typically higher than that of a secured loan. The application and funding process can also be a lot quicker.

At Cash Train, it is possible to receive a loan even where you may have a poor credit rating as we assess each loan on a case by case situation, whether you are employed, unemployed, self-employed, receiving Centrelink payments or government benefits, and many more.
