# Borrow

**Summer.fi  Borrow** is the main entry point for users to lend their funds and borrow others. 

With an intuitive and world-class UX that’s constantly evolving to suit users needs, the process to borrow is seamless. 

**Benefits:**

* **Extra liquidity:** Users gain access to extra liquidity if they choose to borrow DAI; and since Dai is a stablecoin, this liquidity can be used for trading, spending, or saving; all use cases are available. 
* **Multiple collaterals:** Different collateral types, rates and ratios are suitable for multiple risk profiles. 
* **Flexible repayment schedules:** There are no repayment schedules, no minimum payments, and no credit history requirements. Users can repay at their own pace as long as their Vault is properly collateralized

**Risks:**

Users need to be properly [collateralized](broken://pages/URTHmeIZkvxpVwiohkTG) to avoid liquidations. Liquidations are the forceful sale of collateral to cover the borrowed funds and carry a penalty. You can learn more about [liquidations](broken://pages/URTHmeIZkvxpVwiohkTG) and how to[ assess your Vault risk](broken://pages/CZcBIDnIZkyzCF82Irjy) by following the links. 

Summer.fi UX and UI provide you with all the needed info and tools to feel safe when you open and manage a Vault.[ Try it now](https://summer.fi/).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.summer.fi/summer.fi-pro/products/borrow.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
