How borrowing works locally

A secured product gives the lender a claim on a named asset, which is why its price is usually lower than an unsecured equivalent.

Adding a co-signer puts a second file in front of the lender and adds a second person to the obligation. A longer amortisation lowers each payment and raises the total interest paid over the life of the loan.
