By purpose loans provided to individuals confidently into the following categories:

Loans for the purchase of real estate - this includes loans for the purchase and construction of apartments, houses, cottages, garages. Some banks provide loans for the purchase of land and rooms.

Loans for the purchase of a car - everything is clear. Some banks provide loans for the purchase of both new and used vehicles. The conditions in these two cases are different.

Education loans - usually a loan with a validity equal to the period of study. Usually it is available to students in higher education institutions, in some cases - special secondary.

Collateralized - in this case, the bank takes collateral from the borrower or other person called Pledger, some property - real estate, cars, securities, precious metals and others. This procedure is executed by special agreement, which records the parameters of the property, including the cost, its location, the period of pledging and other significant terms. In the case of non-payment of the loan collateral must provide the bank to pay damages - through sale, lease, etc.

Secured by a guarantee - are loans for which, in addition to the borrower become responsible and other persons or entities, called guarantors. While the borrower to repay the loan in a timely manner, the guarantors can sleep peacefully. But as soon as the bank has any doubt about the fact that the loan will be repaid on time, it starts in a particular manner to glance in the direction of the guarantors.

Typically, when significant amounts of credits used both types of software. All banks are willing to accept as collateral for bail, bail is demanding on the reputation of the guarantor - mainly refers to financial reputation.
