What Assets Are Considered?

The types of liquid assets that can be used as collateral are checking accounts, savings accounts, certificates of deposit (CDs), money market accounts, mutual funds, stocks, and bonds. In some cases, asset statements alone may be used by high-net-worth individuals for qualification.
