Remember: Actual card and loan conditions depend on the financial institution's approved terms and contract.

Unsecured does not mean obligation-free

Default still affects credit and collections.

Rates vary by borrower

The advertised minimum is not guaranteed.

Higher limits are not automatically better

Borrow only for an actual need.

Compare total cost

Rate, fees, term, and prepayment terms all matter.
