Covered Loans

6.25% variable (6.43% typical APR)

Loans Secured By Shares

If you don’t want to dip into your savings, why not consider a loan secured by your Savings/Shares.

The more you have in savings, the more you can borrow against them.

We offer an exceptionally low interest rate for loans secured by savings.

People consider secure loans when they want to borrow money, but want the peace of mind that they still have savings in their accounts.

Covered Loans are fully secured by your shares. We hold your Shares, up to the full outstanding value of the loan, as collateral on Covered loans.
