Secured Promissory Note – Includes security, which provides the lender with a layer of protection if the borrower defaults on the balance.

Unsecured Promissory Note – Does not include security, leaving the lender at an increased risk for losing the loaned balance. Lenders should take their time in selecting a borrower by only lending to family, friends, and/or those with strong credit.
