A secured debt is money borrowed that is guaranteed (or secured) by the borrowerâs funds or assets and held by the lender in an interest-bearing account. More On Secured Debt Definition
A debt security, issued by a government or large company, that is not secured by an asset or lien, but rather by the all issuer's assets not otherwise secured. That is, a debenture carries no collateral and is considered unsecured; in case of bankruptcy, the debenture holder is considered a general creditor. A debenture can be traded, and the term is often interchangeable with a bond. Debentures issued by governments are considered risk-free. See also: Treasury security.
