What Is an Installment Loan?
An installment loan is a loan repaid in a set number of scheduled payments, called installments, often for $300 to $5,000 and repaid over a fixed term in equal payments. The borrower gets the funds up front, then repays the amount borrowed plus interest until the balance reaches zero. It's also called a structured or scheduled-payment loan. Unlike a payday loan due in one lump sum, it spreads the cost across multiple payments, so you can plan around it.
Best forBorrowers who want predictable payments, including less-than-perfect credit.
See your optionsFast Funding
Approved Colorado applicants typically receive funds within one business day via direct ACH deposit - no waiting in line, no branch required.
Bad Credit OK
Colorado lenders on the Bromoney network assess more than your credit score. Income and repayment capacity matter - giving non-prime borrowers a real shot at approval.
Trusted Lenders
Every lender in the network holds a valid Colorado license under the UCCC and discloses all fees, APR, and repayment terms upfront - before you sign anything.
What You Need for an Installment Loan
The request may take a few minutes. Here's what most Colorado lenders require before they can review your information and decide whether to offer credit.
Verifiable Income
A steady, verifiable income source, including benefits, helps lenders decide whether the payment fits your budget. They also review your credit profile, so keep the amount you can repay in mind before you move forward.
Active Bank Account
An active bank account is usually needed to receive funds and make scheduled payments. Check the payment setup before you choose, so the due dates don't catch you off guard.
Local Colorado Insights
Market Insight: Colorado
Colorado's tiered APR caps on installment loans (36% on the first $1,000, stepping down to 21% and 15% on higher balances) are stricter than neighboring Wyoming and Kansas, which have fewer rate restrictions. This makes Colorado a more borrower-friendly market on price - but it also reduces the number of lenders willing to serve high-risk profiles, so comparing multiple offers matters more here.
Borrower Protection
Colorado borrowers are protected under the Uniform Consumer Credit Code, enforced by the Colorado Attorney General's Office - Consumer Credit Unit. This agency licenses consumer lenders, investigates complaints, and can revoke licenses for violations. File a complaint or check a lender's status at coag.gov/office-sections/consumer-protection/consumer-credit-unit.
Why Colorado residents choose Bromoney
Colorado's Uniform Consumer Credit Code (C.R.S. Title 5) applies tiered rate caps and mandates clear disclosures - but finding a lender who actually follows these rules takes time. Bromoney filters only UCCC-compliant, licensed lenders, so Colorado borrowers compare real offers with no hidden fees and fixed monthly payments from the start.

Installment Loans vs. Alternatives
Payday / Single-Payment Loan
If your next paycheck is the only repayment date, that window can feel tight. A payday or single-payment loan is usually repaid in one lump sum, while an installment loan spreads what you borrow across scheduled payments over a term.
- Usually due in full around your next payday
- Less room to spread the cost across pay periods
- Installment repayment gives you multiple scheduled payments instead
Credit Card / Line of Credit
A credit card or line of credit works more like a running tab. You can borrow again as you repay, but there's usually no fixed payoff date. An installment loan is different: one amount, one scheduled payment, and a term with an ending point.
- Revolving credit with no set payoff date
- APR and payment can change with the balance
- Can fit smaller costs you plan to repay over time
Credit Union & Local Options
Credit unions, local lenders, and nonprofit programs may be worth a look, especially if you're already a member somewhere. Costs and rules can change by state, so compare those local options against any installment loan terms you see online.
- APR may be lower for some credit union members
- Community and nonprofit options may be available locally
- State rules shape caps, terms, and other details
Installment Loans by State
Installment Loans
Installment loans online don't work the same way in every state. Loan amounts, terms, APR caps, and legal rules can change where you live. Whether you borrow for a repair, scheduled payments, structured repayment, bad credit, or to consolidate bills, choose your state below and compare the options available to you.
Questions about this product
Colorado does not set a fixed dollar cap on personal installment loans under the UCCC for loans above $1,000. However, lenders must comply with rate and fee restrictions tied to the loan amount. For supervised loans under $1,000, specific rate schedules apply. Always confirm the exact limit with your lender before signing.
Yes. Many direct lenders on the Bromoney platform evaluate applications beyond the FICO score alone - they consider income, employment stability, and debt-to-income ratio. Colorado law does not prohibit lending to borrowers with low credit scores, so approval is possible even with a damaged credit history.
Most direct lenders transfer approved funds via ACH within one business day. Same-day funding is available through some lenders if the application is completed and approved before their daily cutoff time, typically by noon MT.
Colorado law restricts the rollover of short-term consumer loans, particularly deferred deposit (payday) loans under C.R.S. § 5-3.1. For installment loans specifically, refinancing terms depend on the original loan agreement and lender policy. The UCCC requires full disclosure of any refinancing costs before a new agreement is executed.
The Colorado Attorney General's Office - Consumer Credit Unit oversees consumer lending in the state. Borrowers can file complaints or verify a lender's license through this office at coag.gov/office-sections/consumer-protection/consumer-credit-unit.
No, an installment loan is not the same as a payday loan. An installment loan is repaid in equal scheduled payments over a set term, while a payday loan is usually due in one lump sum around your next paycheck. That difference matters when you're trying to plan cash flow. With an installment loan, you can see the payment schedule before you decide whether the cost fits your budget.
