Instalment Loans - Spread The Payments
An instalment loan is a type of loan that is borrowed from a lender and repaid with interest in regularly scheduled payments. The time it takes to repay an instalment loan can last anywhere from a few months to up to 30 years for larger loans.
Instalment loans are borrowed from a bank, credit union or other type of lender and are usually used to help finance larger purchases, like a home or a car. Most people wouldn’t have the money to purchase a car with cash, so they choose a loan that allows them to pay for it over time.
Instalment Loans vs. Short-Term Loans
While instalment loans can be great for large purchases, sometimes smaller amounts are needed in a manner that can be repaid the same way. A short-term loan, like the name implies, is repaid in a shorter period of time than an instalment loan, and the amount borrowed for short-term loans is usually less than with instalment loans. While different lenders will vary widely, it’s helpful to familiarise yourself with the general differences between instalment loans and short-term loans.
| Loan Amount | Repayment Period | APR | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Instalment Loan | Typically for amounts over £1000 | Months to Years | Typically lower, but with a longer repayment period |
| Short-Term Loan | Usually less than £2000 | Days to Months | Can be higher than instalment loans |
