Three Types of Online Loans to Know About

As you’re looking to take out an online loan, you’ll want to make sure you know the ins and outs. Here’s a breakdown of three different types of online loans you may encounter.

Typical Installment Loans:

  • An installment loan can be used to pay for a large expense like a car repair.
  • Installment loan principals can range from small dollar amounts to thousands of dollars.
  • APRs may depend on the borrower’s creditworthiness, this can range from single to triple digit interest rates.
  • Installment loans are often repaid over months, not weeks.
  • The majority of installment loans are unsecured (meaning the borrower does not have to offer a car or paycheck as collateral).

Typical Payday Loans:5

  • Payday Loans are short-term, high-cost loans.5
  • Payday Loan principals typically range from $100-1,000.
  • Payday Loan APRs can be 400% with terms that are only two weeks.5
  • Payday Loans are often secured by the borrower’s paycheck.5

Typical Debt Consolidation Loans:

  • Debt Consolidation Loans are typically a larger loan secured at a lower interest rate than other debts carried by the borrower.
  • Debt Consolidation Loans are often for higher amounts because they’re meant to consolidate many smaller debt amounts.
  • The APRs of Debt Consolidation Loans are variable. However, debt consolidation loans are only advisable if you can secure a lower interest rate than the interest rate of your other debts.
  • The terms of Debt Consolidation Loans are also variable, but it is often recommended to seek a debt consolidation loan with flexible terms.
  • Debt Consolidation Loans are most typically unsecured.

FAQs

Online loans are personal unsecured installment loans offered by online lenders and some traditional banks. From lines of credit to cash advances, credit comes in all different shapes and sizes depending on the lender and needs of the borrowers.

Online loan offers should clearly disclose the loan’s APR (annual percentage rate), the term, and any fees, such as finance charges.

Personal loans can help you achieve many different types of financial goals. Maybe you’re looking for a loan to help consolidate debt from multiple credit cards, or maybe you need to fund an expensive home improvement or car repair. The right online loan may also help you build credit.
