Secured vs. Unsecured

When taking out a line of credit, you have the option of a secured or unsecured line of credit.

Secured line of credit

A secured line of credit typically has a higher maximum credit limit and uses assets you own as collateral.

Unsecured line of credit

An unsecured line of credit will tend to have a lower maximum credit limit as no assets are acting as collateral.

Features included with all our lines of credit

Simplified approval process

Your application is approved in-house, often during your appointment, with funds available the same or next business day upon approval.
