and a line of credit?
Loan
- One-time borrowing need
- Borrow a specific amount of money
- Repay the full amount within a set period
For example, if you’re buying a $30,000 car, you know exactly how much you’ll need to borrow.
Line of credit
- Ongoing borrowing need
- Borrow what you need, when you need it
- Only pay interest on what you borrow
For example, if you’re planning home renovations, you may not be 100% certain of your future costs.
