About Installment Loans
An installment loan is a short-term loan that allows you more time to repay than a traditional payday loan.1 Installment loans at ACE allow you to repay the loan in scheduled payments that are substantially equal in amount. At ACE, you can choose to repay early without penalty, which may save you money on interest and fees.
Installment loans are available online and in-store in the states below. If approved, the amount you may borrow will depend upon your income and standard underwriting criteria.2

ACE Cash Express may obtain information from a non-traditional consumer reporting agency and the inquiry may affect your overall credit profile with the applicable agency, but it will not impact your FICO® score.
A FICO Score, created by Fair, Isaac and Company, is a type of credit score used by some lenders to help them make credit-related decisions. FICO Scores are based solely on the information in consumer credit reports maintained by the three major credit bureaus — Experian, Equifax and TransUnion. By comparing your credit information to the patterns in hundreds of thousands of past credit reports, a FICO Score estimates your level of future credit risk.
Hard credit report inquiries to Experian, Equifax and TransUnion can negatively affect your FICO Score, especially if there are many in a short amount of time. At ACE Cash Express, we may obtain information from a non-traditional consumer reporting agency and the inquiry may affect your overall credit profile with the applicable agency, but it will not impact your FICO score.
