What are Installment Loans from direct lenders? 

Installment Loan direct lenders issue funds directly to the borrower without using a broker firm or intermediary service.

How do Installment Loans from direct lenders work? 

Installment Loans from direct lenders are short-term, unsecured loans that let you borrow a lump sum of money upfront. You’ll then pay back these funds in fixed monthly payments (a.k.a., “installments”). Repayment terms can range from a few months to a few years, depending on the lender and loan terms. 

Working with a direct Installment Loan lender means the lender handles the application, funding, and repayment process. While indirect lenders may share your data with other companies, direct lenders keep your information private and secure. 

How can I use an Installment Loan from a direct lender? 

The great thing about Installment Loans is that they’re one of the most versatile loan options on the market. Once the funds are deposited in your bank account, you can use the money for whatever you need. Common uses include: 

• Car repairs or auto loan payments 
• Home renovations or remodeling 
• Making a large student loan payment 
• Emergency medical bills 

In general, when you need to cover a moderate expense, you might consider an Installment Loan. Since direct lenders offer fast funding, they’re a convenient option for getting the money you need fast. 

But what if you only need a few hundred dollars to tide you over until payday? In that case, you might consider a Payday Loan instead.

Is an Installment Loan right for you? 

Whether an Installment Loan is the best option for you will depend on your needs and financial situation. Here are some factors to consider when making your decision: 

How much money do you need? 

Installment Loans are medium- to large-dollar loans that typically offer higher amounts than Payday Loans. Depending on the options available in your state, however, they may not allow you to borrow as much over time as a Line of Credit. 

Before applying for any loan, it’s important to know how much money you need and whether an Installment Loan is your best option. 

Can you repay the loan? 

You should never take out a loan you can’t afford to repay. Before signing any loan agreement, be sure to review the repayment terms and conditions. If you think you’ll struggle to make the loan payments (and possibly default on the loan), it’s best to find another solution. 

Are the interest rates manageable? 

In addition to repaying the loan itself, it’s also important to consider fees and interest rates when signing the agreement. Fees and interest rates vary from lender to lender and can significantly increase the cost of the loan.

If you need money fast, an Installment Loan from a direct lender can be a good option. At Advance America, we offer same-day funding for applications approved before 10:30 AM EST.* This can be a huge advantage when you need immediate financial assistance.
