What is an Online Loan?


An online loan, put simply, allows you to complete the entire borrowing process by submitting an application from a desktop computer or mobile device, receiving an instant decision to loan funding, without ever setting foot inside a store. These loans can be a convenient way to borrow money, and may provide a solution when you need funds but can't wait for the traditional lending process.2

Types of loans available online at ACE Cash Express include either a payday loan (also known as a payday advance or cash advance), which is typically due in full on your next paycheck, or an installment loan (also known as a short-term loan), which allows loan repayment with multiple payments over a longer time period.3

At ACE, we offer loans online that may provide you with the money you need at your convenience!2 The application process is simple. Whether you're facing a financial emergency or have an unexpected expense, ACE offers short-term online loans that may be an option to get you back on track.

Automatic Payment

Payday loan

The amount you owe will be automatically withdrawn from your bank account on the day your loan is due. If you prefer a different method, you can pay online, by phone or in person at an ACE store. A convenience fee may apply when paying by phone.

Installment loan

During the online installment loan application process, you have the choice to set up automatic recurring payments and have your funds automatically withdrawn from your bank account on each due date, giving you peace of mind about paying on time. However, there are other ways to pay as well, including online, over the phone and at an ACE store. A convenience fee may apply when paying by phone.

  • Medical bills
  • Auto repairs
  • Home repairs
  • Unexpected expenses

ACE 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.
