Signature Loans: Available, but not as common as before
In years gone by it would not be uncommon for a client to walk into their local bank and ask to borrow a couple of hundred dollars for a house repair. The bank manager would commonly give the client the money based on their 'character' or 'signature', which is where the term signature loan comes from. We now call this type of loan an unsecured loan.
A signature loan is a loan where the borrower does not have to put up any collateral to back the loan. The lending institution simply lends the borrower the money on the pretense that the borrower has good character or a previously good borrowing record, and trusts that they will be repaid as per the loan agreement.
In many cases today, the number one type of unsecured credit is in the form of credit cards. But signature loans are still out there at banks and credit unions for people with a sudden need for money and a clean credit history, established employment and residency, and a low debt-to-income ratio. They are sometimes even there for a friendly local face the bank manager knows and just plain trusts.
And a signature loan is also available for you on the Internet.
