Installment Loan FAQs

Installment loans are repaid over time and have two or more (typically several) periodic scheduled payments with a stated date for final payment. Similar to a car payment, you pay a monthly, bi-weekly or weekly set scheduled amount. With an installment loan, interest generally accrues daily. Your easymoney installment loan payment schedule will be set after you are approved for a loan and will include your loan principal and interest.

Installment loans are commonly repaid over a longer period of time. This is different than Payday loans which typically are for a shorter period and are due in full in a single payment on your next payday. Installment loans are set to be repaid in multiple payments on an agreed upon periodic dates which are stipulated in your contract agreement.
