Unsecured Personal Loan
An unsecured loan is not backed by collateral, and hence represents greater risk to the lender. The lender may require a co-signer on the loan to reduce their risk.
If you default on the loan, the co-signer will be held responsible for repayment.
Most educational loans are unsecured loans. In the case of federal student loans, the federal government guarantees repayment of the loans.
Other examples of unsecured loans include credit card charges and personal lines of credit.
