Basically, Pearl Hawaii’s Secured Personal Loan uses an individual’s asset to guarantee the loan. In essence, your certificate, savings account, or car. These items are the collateral for the loan. Typically, a secured loan has a lower interest rate because of the asset offered. Secured personal loans offer several benefits. Mainly, they are easier to obtain due to the use of assets as collateral. For someone with poor or bad credit, obtaining a secured loan may be the better option when it comes to borrowing money.
Accordingly, a Savings and Certificate Secured Loan is secured by the amount you have available on deposit in a Certificate or in your Savings Account. The money collects interest while in the account, which will offset the interest charged on the loan. Simply, you build good credit while getting a low rate. Overall, it works much like a personal loan and is available to help people with a variety of expenses. You can utilize the funds in your account or the certificate can be redeemed when the loan is paid off.
Additionally, an Auto Secured Loan is a personal loan that uses your car for collateral to help you qualify for a loan. We’ll take the value of your car into account when evaluating your loan request.
How Does a Secured Loan Work?
A secured loan is a type of debt backed by collateral. There are also secured personal loans, which work like unsecured personal loans but require you to back the loan with collateral. These types of loans can offer lower rates and easier approval, especially for borrowers with low credit.

Pearl Hawaii’s Secured Personal Loans can help you build your credit history or repair bad credit faster. While this can be an advantage, you also need to carefully consider whether you can repay the loan and whether you can lose the asset you’re using as collateral. Undeniably, the end goal should be to rely as little as possible on debt.
Secured Loan Vs. Unsecured Loan
With a Secured Personal Loan, you will have to put up collateral to obtain the loan. Whereas, an unsecured loan is not backed by collateral. If you are late paying an unsecured loan or default on the loan, the lender has no right to any of your property or assets. For example, some forms of unsecured loans include credit cards, student loans, and personal loans.
Secured Personal Loan Advantages
Overall, there are many advantages to obtain a secured loan over another type of loan. Typically, a secured loan is easier to obtain than an unsecured loan. Additionally, individuals who have had some issues with credit may find it easier to obtain a secured loan. Secured loans tend to offer lower interest rates than unsecured loans, making secured loans a good choice for borrowers on a tight budget. Comparatively, secured loans typically allow borrowers to get a bigger loan amount than with an unsecured loan.
