This eCourse consists of two modules on consumer banking products.

Consumer/retail credit products come in multiple guises, from short-term facilities such as overdrafts to much longer-term financing in the form of mortgages. The various forms of financing are distinguished not just by term but also by features such as whether the credit facility comes with security (collateral) attached.

Module 1 describes the major credit product lines and the typical stages of the lending cycle.
