How borrowing works locally

A revolving product charges interest on the outstanding balance, while an instalment product charges a fixed schedule of payments.

A secured product gives the lender a claim on a named asset, which is why its price is usually lower than an unsecured equivalent. Interest on a line of credit accrues only on the drawn portion, not on the unused limit.
