- Definition

An unfunded loan commitment is typically a letter from a lending institution to a borrower detailing out the germane terms of a loan that the lender is binding itself to (amount, rate, term, collateral, etc). It is a binding contract on the part of the lender if the borrower accepts the terms of the commitment. They usually are only binding for a short period of time.
