Glossary · The loan itself
In short
This is a clause in your loan agreement that allows the lender to demand immediate repayment of the entire outstanding loan balance if you default on the terms. It's a serious consequence of non-compliance.
Loan acceleration is triggered by events of default, such as missing payments, breaching loan covenants, or providing false information. If your lender accelerates the loan, you must pay the full balance immediately or face liquidation of collateral and potential personal guarantee enforcement. Always adhere strictly to your loan agreement terms.
