deposit is a time-deposit product. A deposit of funds in a savings institution under an
agreement stipulating that

Commercial Banks Loan Facilities:
A loan is a type of debt. All material things can be lent but this article focuses exclusively
on monetary loans. Like all debt instruments, a loan entails the redistribution of financial
assets over time, between the lender and the borrower.
The borrower initially receives an amount of money from the lender, which they pay back,
usually but not always in regular installments, to the lender. This service is generally
provided at a cost, referred to as interest on the debt.
A borrower may be subject to certain restrictions known as loan covenants under the terms
of the loan. Legally, a loan is a contractual promise of a debtor to repay a sum of money in
exchange for the promise of a creditor to give another sum of money.
Secured Loan
A mortgage loan is a very common type of debt instrument, used by many individuals to
purchase housing. In this arrangement, the money is used to purchase the property. The
financial institution, however, is given security - a lien on the title to the house - until the

mortgage is paid off in full. If the borrower defaults on the loan, the bank would have the
legal right to repossess the house and sell it, to recover sums owing to it. In some instances,
a loan taken out to purchase a new or used car may be secured by the car; in much the same
way as a mortgage is secured by housing. The duration of the loan period is considerably
shorter often corresponding to the useful life of the car.
There are two types of auto loans, direct and indirect.
1.
A direct auto loan is where a bank gives the loan directly to a consumer.
2.
An indirect auto loan is where a car dealership acts as an intermediary between
the bank or financial institution and the consumer
