True to its name, a personal loan is a loan for any personal expense. Unlike a housing loan or a car loan, you can use a personal cash loan for anything you want, be it tuition fees, travel, or anything else.
There are two types of personal loans available: secured and unsecured. A secured personal loan requires collateral, such as a house or car, to back the loan. For unsecured personal loans, you don't need to put up any kind of collateral. Unsecured personal loans are much more common in the Philippines, though secured loans are also available.
