What Are Stock Loans?
There are many misconceptions about stock loans. Some shareholders might not even know what they are or how they can benefit from them. So, here’s everything you need to know about stock loans.
A stock loan, also known as securities-based lending, is when a bank or private firm lends money to a borrower, and the borrower puts up stock as security to ensure they repay the loan. The borrower pays the loan back with an agreed-upon interest rate.

What's the Point of a Stock Loan?
It might seem obvious why a bank or private firm gives out stock loans. These entities make a profit by collecting interest from the borrower.
But why would a borrower want to borrow against their shares? This can be a smart move for many reasons. Some of the most common include:
- Having access to cash to quickly pay off expenses or debt
- Starting or expanding a business
- Securing immediate liquidity
- Managing tax liabilities
These are just a few reasons why a borrower would use a stock loan. Your unique situation will determine how you can benefit from your loan.

How Do Stock Loans Work?
Also known as securities lending, these loans are available to help investors keep the stock they own while still having access to the cash they need in order to make other investments. Our borrowers gain the opportunity to dip into the value of their non-marginable stock quickly and easily without having to wait a long time for the money.
Our loan amounts are dependent on characteristics of the collateralized security, including the number of shares, price, volatility, and additional criteria. By transferring your stock to us, you can be assured of receiving a loan against its value. All you have to do is make quarterly interest payments during the life of the loan. We keep the process simple: once you fully repay the borrowed amount, your stock will be transferred back to you.
