How installment loans work in Aurora

An installment loan gives you the full amount up front and you repay it in equal monthly payments over a set term — often 3 to 36 months. Because repayment is spread out, each payment is smaller than a single lump-sum payday repayment, and you always know your payoff date.

What is an installment loan?

An installment loan is money you borrow and repay in fixed, scheduled payments, usually every two weeks or monthly, until it's paid off. Installment loans, auto loans and many short-term loans are installment loans. Because repayment is spread out, each payment is smaller than a lump sum. Lenders in our network offer installment loans from $100 to $5,000 to Aurora borrowers who qualify.

How do installment loans work in Aurora?

Are installment loans bad for your credit?

Not necessarily. Checking offers often uses a soft inquiry that doesn't affect your score, though a lender may do a hard pull before final approval. Once you have the loan, on-time payments can help build your credit history, especially with lenders that report to the major bureaus, while missed payments can lower your score.
