A secured loan is a type of loan that is backed by collateral, which is a property or asset that the borrower pledges as security for the loan. If the borrower defaults on the loan, the lender has the right to seize the collateral to recover the unpaid balance.

Secured loans are often used by borrowers who are unable to obtain an unsecured loan, such as a personal loan, due to a poor credit history or lack of income. By pledging collateral, the borrower can provide the lender with assurance that they will be able to repay the loan, even if they are unable to make the payments themselves.

The most common type of collateral for a secured loan is a car or other vehicle, which can be repossessed by the lender if the borrower defaults on the loan. Other types of collateral that can be used for secured loans include real estate, jewelry, or other valuable personal belongings.
