FAQ: Unsecured Promissory Note Template

  • An unsecured promissory note is used when an individual wants to borrow money but doesn’t want to provide specific assets as collateral or security. In these cases, the lender will usually base the decision to lend money on the borrower’s credit score and affordability. Ensure that you remove any mentions of security or collateral when drafting your unsecured promissory note sample.

  • The difference between secured and unsecured promissory notes lies in the collateral provided. With a secured promissory note, the borrower will clearly state what assets they provide as collateral for the agreement. This is usually property or other high-valued assets. 

    With an unsecured promissory note, the borrower won’t specify any collateral. In this case, if the borrower defaults on the loan, the lender can start debt collection processes to collect the outstanding amount.
