What is an Unsecured Loan Agreement?

An unsecured loan agreement is a legal contract between a lender and a borrower that agrees to fund a loan without requiring collateral. Most of the time, when a borrowers creditworthiness indicates that they pose a low risk for defaulting on a loan, lenders agree to fund a loan request without requiring personal property to back it up. This means that a borrower is allowed funding based purely on their financial history.

Even though no collateral can be seized to satisfy an outstanding balance if a borrower defaults, an unsecured loan agreement typically offers alternative methods of recovery. For example, borrowers who default on unsecured loans can still be pursued in court to pay back the amount borrowed plus any applicable fees.
