An unsecured personal loan is a personal loan for which no collateral is provided; hence its issuance is based solely on the applicant’s credit worthiness.
The application for unsecured personal loans has been built so as to capture the loan requirements as well as the basic personal (including employment and contact information) and financial information of the applicants. All required disclosures and notices are displayed as part of the application and the regulations imposed by the US government have been kept in mind while identifying information to be captured.
The app tracker has been built so as to enable tracking of the application once it has been submitted. The application tracker also enables the applicant to retrieve and complete an application that has been saved. Additionally, the applicant can perform certain tasks from the app tracker such as uploading documents required by the bank, specifying loan account preferences, etc.
