An installment loan is money you borrow and repay over time. You make regular payments. Each payment includes part of the amount you borrowed and any fees or interest. Your installment loan agreement shows how many payments you will make and when they are due.

Why many borrowers view installment loans as reliable

Predictability: Your payment amounts and end date is clear. That helps with planning rent, utilities, and other bills.

Structure: Payments are spaced out. That can make manageable payments easier compared to one large payoff.

Transparency: The agreement clearly details out all of the obligations of your loan so that it is easy to understand.

Choice: LendNation offers online or in-store installment loans in many areas. See the product page: Installment Loans

How installment loans compare to payday loans

Both products serve short-term needs. The key difference is the length of schedule. Installment loans are paid over time in set payments. Payday loans are often due on your next payday.
