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.

What credit score do I need for a personal loan?
There's no single minimum. Some lenders want good credit, but many lenders in our network consider fair, poor and limited credit and weigh your income and job history too.
