Learn More About Our Convenient Installment Loans in Utah
Simply put, an installment loan is any kind of loan that is paid off, not by a large lump sum, but by small incremental payments called installments. These installments can occur over whatever time period is agreed upon by the lender and the borrower; weekly and biweekly installment periods are typical.
Installment loans can be further divided into either collateralized or noncollateralized loans. Collateralized installment loans are loans that are backed by a piece of property that serves as insurance against the borrower defaulting or discontinuing payment of the loan. In cases where the borrower defaults on their obligation to the lender, the lender can then take possession of the collateral to cover the expense of the loan. Typical pieces of collateral are cars. On the other hand, noncollateralized loans are not backed by collateral, and are instead dependent on a good faith arrangement between borrower and lender. These usually have higher interest rates than collateralized loans.
What Are Short Term Installment Loans For?
A predictable payment schedule – Because of the structure of installment loans, building a budget around one is relatively easy. If you know that your loan payment is going to come due on a specific date every month, you should be able to make sure that you have enough funds to cover your loan payment when that due date comes.
Manageable interest rates – Compared to high-interest payday loans, short-term installment loans usually have interest rates that are easier to manage and won’t break your savings account. Installment loans can run for as long as 24 months, allowing borrowers to find an interest rate that works for them.
