Unsecured Loan
Unsecured loans can come in handy when dealing with urgent financial needs. Life can be unpredictable, and it is important to know your options when you need quick financial assistance. Unsecured loans, unlike secured financial loans,
are quicker, have less paperwork, and provide you with a loan in no time, saving you from any such financial burdens.
But how do these loans work, and how do you apply for an unsecured loan? Let us understand.
Understanding unsecured loans
Unsecured loans are loans that do not require any collateral for loan approval. A collateral means pledging assets such as jewellery, vehicles, real estate property, or any other valuable possession where the amount of the loan depends
on the market value of that asset. However, unsecured loans do not require you to pledge your assets, giving you access to higher loan amounts.
How does an unsecured loan work?
Since there are no collaterals, these loans are lent depending on factors such as your credit score, net income, existing loans, and repayment capacity. You can be eligible for a loan amount higher than your requirement or sometimes
lower, depending on your financial history.
You can apply for an unsecured Personal Loan to fund a home renovation project, pay an education fee, cover wedding expenses, or even medical expenses. However, since unsecured loans do not require collateral, the interest rates tend
to be higher than secured loans. Some examples of unsecured loans are Credit Cards, Personal Loans, and small education loans.
Features and benefits of an emergency loan
High-value unsecured loan
Emergency loans are unsecured loans that do not require you to pledge collateral. This gives you access to higher loan amounts without worrying about the loan sanction limit, which would otherwise depend on the collateral value.
Flexible repayment plans
Unsecured Personal Loans usually offer a longer repayment tenure, which gives you the flexibility to manage your finances and plan according to your affordability. Axis Bank’s unsecured Personal Loans offer loan tenures ranging from 12 months to 84 months, so you can choose what is best for you.
Online account
You can track the EMIs, other progressions, and details of your unsecured loans online by visiting your customer portal. This gives you 24x7 access to the information you need without visiting or contacting your bank for updates.
Lower EMIs with flexi options
Unsecured loans allow you to pay interest-only EMIs at the initial part of your tenure, which lowers your monthly payments. However, it is important to check these charges beforehand to ensure affordability. Click here to check your loan EMIs with Axis Bank.

Instant approval

Pre-approved offers
You can streamline the application process by providing your name and contact information to your bank and accessing pre-approved offers. This simplifies the procedure, enables quicker access to various services or products, and saves you time and effort in the process.
Types of unsecured loans
Revolving loan
A revolving loan allows you to borrow, repay, and borrow again within a preset credit limit. You can partially or fully use your limit, and it gets restored after repayment. An example of a revolving loan is your credit card.
Term loan
With a term loan, you receive a lump sum at a fixed interest rate that you repay in regular instalments over a set period. This is ideal for major purchases that require higher funds.
Consolidated loan
A consolidated loan helps you combine multiple debts into one, easing payments and potentially lowering interest, offering relief during financial crunches.
