The Maine Unsecured Promissory Note Template is an agreement that lenders use to detail the various terms of a loan such as the principal sum, interest rate, installment/payment information, etc. Unsecured notes differ from secured notes in that they are not backed by the collateral of the borrower. Unsecured notes or loans are usually reserved for use with borrowers who are considered “low risk.” The instructions posted below detail the required content of the note.
