About Installment Loans
- What is an installment loan?
An installment loan allows you to pay a loan over a longer period of time than a traditional payday loan.3 Installment loans at ACE allow you to repay the loan in scheduled payments that are substantially equal in amount (last payment may vary slightly). At ACE, an installment loan can be repaid early, which may save you interest and CSO fees (where applicable).
