Brief Look At Loans
"Innovative financial packaging" is how it is
sometime known. Essentially what this means is that financial institutions look
for more and more ways to lend to their customers - after all, charging interest
on a debt is the main way that they make their money. But, with more and more
loans now available, it can sometimes be difficult to know exactly which loan to
apply for. The following explanations try to clear this issue up a little for
you:
Personal Loan
Probably the mainstay of financial institutions
is the personal loan. As the name suggests, personal loans are money borrowed
from a financial institution for personal use. In nearly all cases, a personal
loan is going to be unsecured, which means you'll likely be paying a premium on
interest. Once the personal loan is given, you repay it by making monthly
repayments to the lender. In effect, this is the multi-purpose loan.
Auto
Loans
Auto loans are where you borrow money from a financial institution
in order to buy a car or vehicle. In most cases auto loans are done by the car
dealer, but there is no reason why you cannot make arrangements with your bank
before buying the car to borrow the money from them. As with a personal loan,
most auto loans need to be repaid by monthly installments. Sometimes, although
not always, the financial institution will secure your loan with the vehicle,
which means if you cannot repay the loan they'll repossess your car. One
additional expense with an auto loan is that most lenders insist that you take
out fully comprehensive insurance during the period that the auto loan is
outstanding.
Home Improvement Loans
As the name suggests, home
improvement loans are where you ask a lender to lend you money so you can
improve your home. In most cases a home improvement loan is granted on the
condition that you give the lender a second rank mortgage on your home. As such,
the loan amount can rarely exceed the valuation price of your home - including
the increased value after the improvements have been made. Again, home
improvement loans usually need to be paid by monthly installments; however,
balloon (or bullet as they're also know), one-off, payments are also sometimes
accepted.
Education Loans
Education loans are where you borrow
money to further your studies. One big difference between an education loan and
any other type of loan is that most education loans, although given by a
financial institution, are underwritten by the government. Consequently, the
interest rate on education loans (also known as "student loans") is usually very
low.
Holiday Loans
These days it is even possible to go to your
bank and ask them to borrow money so that you can go away on holiday! As you'll
be using the money to go on holiday, this type of loan is unsecured.
Consequently, interest rates are high. Not really a recommended way of paying
for your holiday, but nice to know it's out there if you need it!
Debt
Consolidation Loans
Unfortunately debt consolidation loans are becoming
more and more popular these days. A debt consolidation loan is where you have
too much debt on store cards and credit cards and you need to borrow money to
pay these all off and consolidate them into one big debt. The advantages of
doing this are two-fold: (i) hopefully you'll lower the borrowing interest rate;
and (ii) you only have to deal with one creditor.
Having decided upon the
type of loan you want, all you need to do now is to ask your financial
institution to approve the loan - Good Luck!
