What Is an Online Loan?
An online loan is a short-term personal loan, such as a payday loan or an installment loan, that you apply for online from a computer or mobile device. Online loans may be a convenient way to borrow money for unexpected expenses like:
an unusually high utility bill
an urgent car repair
a rent shortfall
a medical emergency
The ACE online application process is simple and can be completed in minutes.2 If you’re approved, you select a funding option that works best for your money needs.
What Types of Online Loans Are Available at ACE?
ACE offers consumers two types of online personal loans: a payday loan (also known in our line of business as a cash advance) and an installment loan. Availability of online loan products varies by state, and not all loan products are offered in every location. Approved loan amounts are determined based on state regulations, the applicant’s income, and ACE’s standard underwriting criteria.2
Payday Loans Online
A payday loan is a short-term, small-dollar loan intended to help cover expenses or address financial emergencies until a borrower’s next paycheck. If approved, the borrower typically repays the loan in full by their next payday.2
Installment Loans Online
Installment loans are short-term personal loans that a borrower pays back in scheduled payments (installments) over a specified period, with payments that are substantially equal in amount.3 Borrowers approved for an installment loan at ACE pay back the principal (amount of the loan) and any additional interest or fees according to the loan agreement.
Which Online Loan Option Is Right for Me?

Online loans are designed to provide short-term financial assistance. Both payday loans and installment loans can be used for financial emergencies or unexpected expenses, but they differ in how they are repaid. If you need money to get you through to your next paycheck and can pay back the loan in full, a payday loan may be a good option. If you need money for unexpected expenses and need more time to pay back the loan, an installment loan might be the right option.
