Answer:
- When a borrower takes a loan, he or she receives a one-time lump sum disbursement, which is paid back in equal installments over the term of the loan (close-ended credit).
- When a borrower has a line of credit, he or she can access funds on an ongoing basis. Repayment is based on the balance outstanding (revolving credit).
