Talking Loans
Loans are arrangements in which a “lender” gives money or property to a “borrower,” and the borrower agrees to return the property or repay the money, along with interest, at future point in time. Usually, there is a predetermined time for repaying a loan, and the lender bears the risk if the borrower may not repay a loan.
Uses of loans are best described by banking institutions. Bank loans and credit are one way of making money grow, which is done by investing money to good borrowers, who in return pay with interest. Banks generally classify their loans into categories, such as consumer, commercial, and industrial loans, construction and mortgage loans, and secured and unsecured loans
