About Ohio Installment Loans


When Ohioans need cash to help cover unexpected expenses with a reasonable payment schedule, some may consider applying for an installment loan with a trusted lender.

Ohio installment loans at ACE Cash Express are available in-store only and can help cover unexpected expenses, such as home or car repairs, medical bills, and other emergencies.

An installment loan at ACE is a short-term personal loan that a borrower repays in scheduled payments (installments) – which are substantially equal in amount – over a specified period. These installments are scheduled around your pay cycle, so the number of payments, payment amount, and length of your repayment term will depend on your pay periods.

In Ohio, you have until the close of business on the third business day after receiving your funds to return the principal and pay nothing more. For example, if you take out a loan on Monday, you have until the close of business on Thursday to cancel your loan.
