What is a Debenture?
A debenture is an unsecured debt backed by the credit worthiness of the borrower. Like a mortgage, it is a long-term debt that is paid back over time according to a fixed payment schedule. Unlike a mortgage, however, debenture payments are fixed for the entire loan period, and are not renegotiated every few years. Infrastructure Ontario offers flexible approaches to financing and provides borrowers with the option of serial, amortizing or bullet loans over a variety of different terms.
