Gold Loan

Gold Loan

gold loan

A gold loan is a type of secured loan given in exchange for gold jewelry or coins to provide instant financial assistance. It is a great option for people with insufficient collateral to get a bank loan.

The borrower, who is typically willing to exchange cash for gold, receives the loan in exchange for providing some sort of collateral and agrees to repay it with interest over a specific period. The biggest disadvantage of taking a gold loan is that you stand to lose your collateral in case of default. However, to mitigate this risk, some lenders offer insurance packages for your gold items that protect them in case of accident or theft.

To avail of a gold loan, the process is similar to a mortgage loan. The borrower applying for the loan has to contact a lender who deals with this type of loan and fill out an application form after discussing the deals and terms with the dealer or the banker. However unlike with a mortgage loan, the lender is not interested in your income or other aspects of your credit, the lender will assess the eligibility criteria in terms of the value of gold deposited, purity, etc. Once the eligibility criterion is met, the borrower must deposit collateral before receiving their loan amount and repay the loan within the decided due date.
