What Is an Installment Loan?
In a nutshell, an installment loan is a type of personal loan that borrowers typically pay off in equal monthly installments until the debt has been repaid in full. That means the borrower pays the same amount of money each month on a predetermined date.
Installment loans come in many forms. Certain auto loans or home loans take the form of installment loans. You can also take out a personal installment loan to cover emergencies, medical bills, debt consolidation, or large purchases. No matter your financial goals, a borrower pays off an installment loan in fixed monthly payments.

- Repayment terms: Your monthly loan repayments should fit nicely into your budget. Affordable repayments can help you successfully pay off your loan.
- Annual percentage rate (APR): Check to see if your lender charges prepayment fees, late fees, or origination fees.
- Credit building opportunities: Paying on-time should earn you the credit you deserve and may be able to boost your credit score. Choose a lender who reports repayments to the credit bureaus.

There are many different kinds of personal loans. From the credit card in your wallet to the mortgage on your house to the money you borrowed from a family member, the sheer number of financial products out there can be overwhelming.
An installment loan is probably the most common type of personal loan. With an installment loan, you pay back the amount borrowed (called the principal) plus any accrued interest in regular payments over a pre-determined period of time. With OppLoans, the length of the repayment term can range from six months to three years.
The principal will accrue interest over the life of the loan. The longer the repayment term, the more interest accrues and the more you pay. Even though your regular payments will be lower on a loan with a longer repayment term, you will end up paying more due to the increased amount of interest accrued.
Payments are usually made monthly or twice-monthly, depending on the terms of the loan agreement. The payments will always be in the same amount unless the interest rate changes at some point over the term of the loan. It is always a good idea to check whether or not your loan has a fixed or a floating interest rate. If you have a floating interest rate and the rate goes up in, say, year two of a three-year term, your monthly payments will increase.
There are also additional charges that will likely factor into the cost of your loan. They might even be deducted from the principal. For instance, if you have a $1,000 loan with a 10% origination fee, you will only receive $900.*
*OppFi does not charge an origination fee.
