Unsecured loans in Nunavut

What this product does

Unsecured loans: Borrowing with no asset pledged, priced for the risk the lender is taking on your file alone.

An unsecured loan leaves the lender without a claim on a specific asset, so the file itself carries the risk and the price.

A personal loan can be used for almost any purpose the lender accepts, and the purpose rarely changes the price.

The lender prices an unsecured personal loan on the file, because no asset is pledged.
