Loans

A personal loan and an unsecured loan are the same thing, but providers use different names to describe the same product.

A personal loan is sometimes described as an unsecured loan because it allows you to borrow money without having to provide security against it, such as your home or car.

Instead, an unsecured (or personal) loans provider will base their decision on granting you a personal loan by using your personal credit history. This is verified by a credit check to determine your credit rating.
