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.

What You Need for an Installment Loan
The request may take a few minutes. Here's what most Indiana 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 Indiana Insights
Market Insight: Indiana
Indiana's tiered APR structure under the UCCC makes mid-size installment loans (above $4,000) cheaper than in neighboring Ohio or Kentucky, where rate caps are less defined for non-bank lenders. Illinois caps consumer loan rates at 36% flat, while Indiana's tiered model benefits borrowers seeking larger amounts.
Borrower Protection
Indiana consumer borrowers are protected by the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions (DFI), which licenses and examines all consumer lenders in the state. The DFI enforces the Uniform Consumer Credit Code (IC 24-4.5), requiring lenders to disclose APR, total repayment cost, and all fees in writing before loan execution. Complaints can be filed directly at dfi.in.gov.

Calculate my loanInstallment 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

Questions about this product
Indiana does not set a hard statutory cap on installment loan principal for consumer loans above $2,000 under the UCCC. In practice, licensed lenders on Bromoney offer between $1,000 and $50,000. The exact amount depends on your income, credit profile, and the lender's underwriting criteria.
Yes. Many lenders on Bromoney consider applicants with low credit scores. Indiana law does not prohibit lending to borrowers with poor credit history. Lenders assess income stability, employment status, and debt-to-income ratio alongside credit scores. A secured or co-signed loan can improve approval odds and lower the offered rate.
Most lenders deposit funds within 1 business day after final approval and signed agreement. Some lenders offer same-day funding if the application is completed before noon on a business day. Timing also depends on your bank's processing schedule.
Under Indiana's UCCC (IC 24-4.5-3-508), lenders may charge a tiered interest rate: up to 36% APR on the first $2,000, up to 21% on amounts between $2,000 and $4,000, and up to 15% on amounts above $4,000. Additional fees may apply. Always review the full cost disclosure before signing.
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.
An installment loan is usually unsecured, which means you don't put up collateral, though secured versions do exist. If keeping property out of the deal matters to you, look for no collateral options available and review the terms before you choose.
