loan agreements

Debt repayment contracts

Loan agreements are formal contracts between a lender and borrower specifying the terms of a loan—the amount, interest rate, repayment schedule, and consequences of default.

They range from simple promissory notes to complex documents for mortgages or business financing.

The loan agreement required monthly payments over thirty years.

Banks, credit unions, and private lenders all use them to protect their interests and clarify obligations.
