Borrowing Considerations
A line of credit and a loan serve distinct purposes based on how you access and repay borrowed funds. Discover what it means for your clients with the Line of Credit calculator.
Line of Credit
A line of credit provides flexibility, allowing you to borrow funds up to a predetermined limit whenever you need them. Unlike a loan where you receive a lump sum upfront, a line of credit lets you withdraw funds as needed, up to your approved limit. Interest is charged only on the amount you use, and you have the flexibility to repay and borrow again within the agreed terms. This makes a line of credit suitable for ongoing or unpredictable expenses like home renovations, education costs, or unexpected bills.
Fixed Loan Amounts
In contrast, a loan provides a fixed amount of money upfront in a single disbursement. This lump sum is typically used for specific purposes such as purchasing a car, consolidating debt, or financing a major project. Loans are structured with fixed repayment schedules, including both principal and interest, over a predetermined period. This predictability can make loans a preferred choice for one-time expenses where the amount needed is known upfront and a structured repayment plan fits the borrower’s financial situation.
