What a collateral loan involves

Collateral loans: Borrowing against an asset a lender will hold, from vehicles to savings, and what happens on default.

A collateral loan is secured by an asset the lender holds or registers against, from a vehicle to savings, and default puts that asset at risk.

The lender values the asset before setting the amount, and the amount rarely exceeds that value.

Insurance on the asset is commonly required while the security is in place.
