A pawn loan with continued use is a special form of vehicle pawn loan: you receive cash quickly by pledging your vehicle as collateral - but can still continue to use it. In contrast to the classic car pawnshop, you keep your car, motorcycle or commercial vehicle and remain mobile while the loan is running. Payment is usually made within 60 minutes, and no KSV query or classic credit check is required.
