What is a secured debt consolidation loan?

A secured debt consolidation loan is a loan in which the borrower pledges some asset (ex, home, car) as a collateral for attaining the loan. The loan is secured against the collateral. If the borrower defaults, the bank or financial institution can sell the asset to recoup the loan amount.

What is a savings secured loan?

Savings secured loan is a secured loan available at most banks and lending institutions. To get a savings secured loan, you must have a savings account with the bank. A portion or all of the money in the savings account acts as a collateral against the loan you have been granted. The amount of money in your savings account is frozen which means you cannot take out the money but you will continue to earn you interest. Interest rates on savings secured loan are much less since if the borrower defaults, the lender can take away the money in the savings account that acted as a collateral. The advantage of saving secured loan is the fact that interest rates offered are low but the dis-advantage lies in the fact that you will get a loan only up to the maximum amount in your savings account.
