With secured LOCs, credit limits can easily reach the hundreds of thousands of dollars, depending on the value of your collateral, because the lender can take possession of your collateral if you don’t pay back what you owe. Having collateral usually allows you to access higher credit limits, lower interest rates, and more flexible repayment terms. Secured LOCs also often allow you to make interest-only payments.
