Oklahoma Unsecured Promissory Note Template |
|
TheĀ Oklahoma Unsecured Promissory Note Template can be downloaded in .PDF or Word format. The template is designed to be used as a starting point when drafting an unsecured promissory note. Unsecured notes are a type of loan agreement, which in contrast to secured notes, do not require the borrower to pledge security (aka collateral). Another key aspect of unsecured notes is that they typically have higher interest rates than secured ones, due to not having the backing of collateral.
