What Is Loan Against Securities?

Investors these days are expanding their investment portfolio by investing in shares and securities with traditional saving and investing options. These not only strengthen their net worth but also create avenues for quick short-term loans against shares. The advantage of a loan against security allows you to borrow the amount that you require on short notice.

Objectively state the purpose for which you require the loan so that the lender quickly understands and determines your intention for seeking the loan. This facility is available to meet contingencies needs only.

• Look for a high-value lender

The lending market is filled with many retailers offering attractive prices. While you look for high-value lenders, make sure you select the one that offers the best value in terms of price and security.

• Audit the shares and securities used as collateral

A list of pre-approved shares, securities and equity holdings are listed with banks. Check if your holding is eligible.
