Collateral Security By collateral security is meant stocks, bonds, and other evidences of property deposited by the borrower to secure a loan made to him by the bank. Such securities are deposited as a pledge or guarantee that the loan will be repaid at maturity; if not paid the securities may be sold to reimburse the lender. Collateral loans though made generally to brokers on such security as stocks are made also to merchants and commercial houses, and all kinds of collateral are offered. They may be made on "time," running for thirty days to several months, or on "call," that is, subject to payment on demand. The various forms of collateral offered to secure bank loans may be roughly grouped into three divisions: stocks and bonds, merchandise, and real estate. Some of the more important types of collateral loans may now be briefly considered.
