Secured loans in Nunavut

A secured loan in Nunavut is a contract between a borrower and a licensed lender, read against the province's consumer credit rules and the federal ceiling where one applies.

The Nunavut version of the secured loan page exists because provincial rules apply to the contract wherever the lender is based.

What this product does

Secured loans: Borrowing against an asset, which lowers the price but puts the asset at risk if you default.

A secured loan gives the lender a claim on a named asset, which can lower the price and puts that asset at risk if payments stop.

The asset is the lender's fallback, so the price is usually lower than for an unsecured equivalent.

A secured product names an asset, and the lender registers or holds a claim against it.

The Nunavut rules that apply
