1. Installment loans are intended for customers who need more time to pay off their loan than provided by a single-payment payday loan. Individual payment amounts for an installment loan are smaller when compared to the single-payment payday loan for the same loan amount. The total sum of payments for an installment loan will be higher than a single-payment loan if you pay off the installment loan according to the payment schedule set forth in the associated loan agreement.

Our credit decision on your application may be based in whole or in part on information obtained from a national database, including, but not limited to, TransUnion, Equifax, LexisNexis, and/or FactorTrust, Inc.
