The product in plain terms

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.

Repayment is by instalments, and the schedule sets how much of each payment is interest and how much is principal.
