What can I use a loan for?
With some loans, it’s your choice how you use it. But other loans, such as a car loan or a debt consolidation loan, they’re more clearly intended for a specific purpose.
The amount you can borrow on a secured loan is usually much larger than an unsecured loan. Popular ways to spend a secured loan include large-scale home improvements, legal purposes, and debt consolidation.
Unsecured loans, on the other hand, have a much smaller loan limit and are better suited to smaller value purchases such as essential home improvements and vital car repairs.
