  • Methods of Borrowing
    • Mortgage
      • A loan to finance the purchase of real estate (e.g. a house).
      • A mortgage is secured on the house, which remains the property of the bank until it is fully paid off.
    • Credit Card
      • Cards that may be used repeatedly to buy products and services on credit to borrow money up to a prearranged limit.
      • Each month, you must pay at least the minimum payment required (usually around 3-5 per cent) of the outstanding balance.
      • You can pay more if you want, and this will reduce the interest you pay. Credit card interest rates are high.

      • Overdraft
        • Borrowing up to an agreed limit on a current account. Overdrafts must be paid back on demand.
