Characteristics of a Pledge Loan
The asset pledged as collateral for the pledge loan will be referred to as a “pledge.”
In pawnshops, the requirements for a pledge loan are almost non-existent; just presenting a pledge and requesting a reasonable loan amount is enough.
The repayment term is usually much shorter than with other credit alternatives.
This type of financing is very common as pledge loans on vehicles or new homes and rentals.
Requirements to Obtain a Pledge Loan
Be over 18 years old.
Maintain a minimum annual income level (the amount will depend on the bank or lender).
Have assets with easily identifiable monetary value.
Personal loans are unsecured credits that can be used for any purpose. Their approval and terms depend on the applicant's creditworthiness.
How Pledge Loans Work
How Pledge Loans Work
In a pledge loan, the borrower requests a sum of money and, as collateral, provides an asset of higher value, which remains at the lender's disposal to ensure that the loan amount is repaid within the agreed time frame.
Once the pledged loan period is over, two things can happen:
The loan amount is fully repaid, at which point the pledge is returned to the owner, or,
If the money is not repaid, the lender acquires the pledge and will sell or auction it.
What is a Pledge Loan
What is a Pledge Loan
In a pledge loan/pawn credit/pledge loan, an asset (such as jewelry, a car, etc.) is left as collateral in exchange for receiving money, with the aim of ensuring the return of the borrowed amount. This asset is referred to as the "pledge" and has a value equal to or greater than the loan. For instance, if you offer a ring as a pledge worth a thousand dollars, you might be offered, say, 800 dollars as a loan.
