Unsecured loans are financial solutions that offer swift and accessible funds without having to put up collateral. They are a flexible option when you’re faced with pressing financial needs such as paying for major life events, emergency expenditures, or funding business ventures. 

 

CIMB provides a number of unsecured loan options tailored to fit different personal scenarios. Let’s explore how they can help you.

What Are Unsecured Loans?

What is the meaning of unsecured loans? To understand better, let’s compare secured vs unsecured loans. Secured loans are backed by assets like a home or a car. In contrast, unsecured loans rely solely on the borrower’s creditworthiness. This allows those who may not have physical assets in their name to secure a loan without any collateral. 

 

However, to offset the higher risk taken on by the lender, unsecured loans typically come with higher interest rates as compared to secured loans.

What Can Unsecured Loans Be Used For?

CIMB's unsecured loans are versatile financial tools designed to support a wide range of needs, helping turn dreams into reality. Unsecured loans can be used for:

 

  • Home renovations or improvements

  • Weddings or major life events

  • Postgraduate studies

  • Small business ventures

  • Emergency expenditures

  • Debt consolidation

  • Basically any purpose as it is a non-specific purpose loan

 

Read our guide on what you can use personal loans for to explore how unsecured loans can be used for life’s significant milestones.
