Usually, unsecured debt is least attractive for consumers because it carries a higher interest rate than the others. In secured debt, including a mortgage, the lender has collateral that can help offset the cost of a loan if the consumer defaults; therefore it is less risky for the bank and they charge a lower rate. In an unsecured debt, like credit cards, the bank has no collateral to collect and the debt is more risky for them.
