Collateral

Collateral is an asset that a borrower offers to a lender to secure a loan. If the borrower defaults, the lender can seize the collateral to recover their losses. Common forms of collateral include real estate, vehicles, and savings accounts.

What is Collateral?

Collateral serves as a safety net for lenders, reducing their risk when providing loans. It ensures that the lender has a way to recover their funds if the borrower fails to repay the loan.
