What is a loan?

This is where one group (the lender) supplies another group (the borrower) with an agreed amount of money with the full agreement that this money will be repaid in full by a set time. A contract is drawn up between the two parties setting out all the terms and conditions of the loan. The lender can also stipulate within this contract that interest payments are to be made on top of the capital repayments. This is usually agreed when the borrower signs the terms of the contract, as well as the dates on which all payments are to be made and by which date the loan must be repaid by in full. Often the lender will include fines for missed or late payments within the loan contract. These can vary between lenders but are often quite high.

Why get a loan?

Loans can be used for many things such as buying a car, house or financing higher education. However, due to all the hidden costs within a loan such as interest payments and late or missed payment charges, loans are often taken out as a last resort.
