Financial emergencies happen. One of the easiest and most secure ways to obtain instant cash is to loan against a valuable asset, such as a luxury watch.  Depending on the brand, they tend to hold immense value, and Qollateral is here to help you tap into it with this quick yet comprehensive guide to borrowing against watches. You can apply for a luxury watch loan with no credit check and will retain ownership of the watch throughout the loan term. Read on to learn how to get a loan secured by your luxury watch as soon as today.

What is a Watch Loan?

This type of loan uses a valuable, high-end watch as collateral in exchange for immediate cash. More and more Americans are turning to this option to create short-term funding because it’s quick, completely safe, and allows them to keep ownership of their watch instead of selling. A high-value asset backs the loan, so there is no need to run a credit check or any other type of financial review. In many cases, that also means more flexible loan terms and faster processing times.

How To Prepare For Pawning Watches

One of the best ways to secure the highest loan value is to prepare the luxury watch ahead of time for pawning. An excellent first step you can take is to research trusted lenders with experience in asset-backed lending, such as Qollateral. This important step will ensure you obtain the highest offer because a qualified appraiser will already have a good understanding of how much your watch is worth. It is also beneficial to bring any documentation associated with your timepiece when pawning watches. Those might include original sales receipts, authenticity certificates, service records, and the original box the watch came with.  These items can add value to the watch during the appraisal because they help authenticate it. Lastly, inspect your timepiece. Ensure it is in top working order and in clean, presentable condition.

• Find a trusted lender, like Qollateral.


• Gather Documentation


• Thoroughly inspect the watch

4. Sign the agreement and receive funds. At this point, you will have instant access to funding, either by cash, check, or bank wire.
