loans and lending

Banks and credit unions are two of the most common sources of consumer and business loans. These loans may be secured or unsecured, and may take the form of home mortgages, home equity loans, installment loans (loans repaid in monthly installments), auto loans, student loans, and credit cards.

In New Jersey, banks and credit unions are regulated entities that offer various types of loans to consumers and businesses. These loans can be either secured, with collateral such as property or a vehicle, or unsecured, without collateral. Home mortgages and home equity loans are secured by the borrower's property and are commonly used for purchasing or refinancing a home or borrowing against the equity in a home. Installment loans are repaid over time with a set number of scheduled payments and can be used for personal, auto, or student loans. Auto loans are specifically tied to the purchase of a vehicle and are secured by the vehicle itself. Student loans can be either federal or private, with different terms and conditions. Credit cards offer revolving credit, which is a form of unsecured loan where the borrower can use up to a certain limit and pays interest on the amount borrowed. New Jersey's banking regulations are designed to protect consumers and ensure fair lending practices, and they operate within the broader context of federal banking laws and regulations.
