Collateral is more than just a fairly good Tom Cruise movie. It’s also a Jamie Foxx movie… Actually, what we’re really talking about on our podcast this week is financial collateral. This kind of collateral has become more and more important since the financial crisis, because it reduces the risk to lenders that they’ll never get their money back.
Peter Balaz came on the podcast A Dictionary of Finance to talk about how the use of collateral—and the markets that have grown around it—have expanded since the crisis in 2009.

As well as explaining bank collateral, Peter also explained a range of related financial terms. Check out the podcast to discover, among other things:
