What is the difference between a loan and line of credit?

A loan is an amount of money that you borrow for a specified length of time. You will receive a one-time, lump sum that is then paid down with fixed monthly payments for the duration requested and agreed upon. A line of credit is a borrowing limit extended to you. The funds are available during the draw period up to the credit limit established. Monthly payments will be based upon the balance of the line of credit, and payments are variable and fluctuate with the Wall Street Journal Prime rate.
