Advance Rate. The percentage of the value of collateral that a lender uses to determine the amount of a loan. For example, if one pledges a collateral worth $10,000, and the advance rate is 90%, the lender will only extend $9000 in credit. This may protect the lender from risks, such as depreciation on the collateral.
