What is an installment loan?

In a nutshell, an installment loan is a type of personal loan that borrowers typically pay off in equal monthly installments until the debt has been repaid in full. That means the borrower pays the same amount of money each month on a predetermined date.

There are many types of installment loans out there. Certain auto loans or home loans take the form of installment loans. You can also take out a personal installment loan to cover emergencies, medical bills, debt consolidation, or large purchases. Regardless of the reason for needing an installment loan, as long as you make your payments on time, your repayment schedule can be completely predictable.

Comparing installment loan options

Not all loan products are created equal. There are many types of loans out there in the marketplace, and it’s important to know how their payment schedules, interest rates, and other loan terms will work for you and your wallet.

Finding the best personal installment loan doesn’t have to be hard. Below are a few considerations to help you land on the right financial solution for you.

  • Accessibility: Is there an online lender that offers personal installment loans, or do you have to visit the financial institution in person?
  • Type of loan: Does the financial institution offer unsecured or secured loans? Does the loan offer require collateral, such as an automobile or piece of property to secure it?
  • Repayment terms: Is the repayment schedule predictable? Or are you going to be surprised with higher interest rates, prepayment fees, or balloon payments?
  • Annual percentage rate (APR): How much in total are you paying for the loan from start to finish?
  • Credit building opportunities: Does your loan provide credit-building opportunities? Make sure your on-time payments are reported to the credit bureaus to help boost your credit score.

FAQs

Are installment loans good?

There are many benefits to certain types of installment loans. With the right lender, and as long as you make your monthly payments on time, your loan agreement should be straightforward. As long as you avoid late payments, your monthly bill should consist of equal, recurring amounts. Consistent on-time payments on an online loan could help you build credit history!

Can I get an installment loan with bad credit?

OppLoans does not use FICO scores during the loan approval process. Instead, we take other factors into consideration — such as employment or income status, good standing with other lenders, and on-time payment history — before making a loan offer.2

Where can I get an installment loan without a credit check?

OppLoans does not request the standard credit reports from the three major credit bureaus. Instead, we partner with a credit bureau that doesn’t use credit scores and won’t ding your FICO score when providing us with your credit history.2

Are there online installment loans?

Yes! OppLoans’ personal installment loan process makes its entire application process available online. There is no need to visit your credit union or a financial institution to apply.

How much money can I qualify for?

Depending on your state and your income, you may qualify for a loan between $500 and $4,000. The loan amount for which you qualify will depend on your state of residence, your income and ability to repay, and your creditworthiness.5
