A repo agreement in which the lender of cash accepts any securities that are not special in the market and may be used to collateralized cash loans (collectively known as general collateral or for short as GC). In other words, the lender of cash (such as a bank, mutual fund, asset management fund, etc) is usually keen to earn interest income while limiting counterparty risk. Therefore, it chooses a class of securities that can be quickly and easily liquidated at a low transaction cost and without being exposed to an adverse price movement. Examples of general collateral securities include Treasury bonds and notes, mortgage-backed securities, agency-sponsored securities, etc. In general, government securities are highly marketable and default-free, and thus they are preferred by lenders in the repo market.
