Security

Security

Security is the property that you are putting up as a ‘warranty’ for the loan.

You need to tell the bank if you have any of the following, as this may affect your eligibility:

  • a mortgage
  • a reverse mortgage
  • any other liabilities for the property you use as security.

A security interest in a loan is a legal claim on collateral provided by the borrower that allows the lender to seize and sell the collateral if the loan defaults. A security interest reduces a lender's risk, allowing them to charge a cheaper interest rate on the loan.
