Affordable Personal Loans For Whatever You Need

What is a Title Loan

The term car title loan is generally referred to as a short term, high interest loan similar to a pay day loan. Under the common definition these loans are for a small amount of money and for a short time. To get a car title loan, you give the lender the title to your vehicle. You also pay the lender a fee to borrow the money which can be very expensive and often translates into much higher interest rates than a traditional installment loan. You usually have to repay the loan in 30 days.

Traditional installment loans are a good alternative

Installment loans are a type of loan that you repay through regular, monthly payments. Unlike pay day and title loans, they don’t require a single lump-sum payment that many borrowers can’t afford. Installment loans spread out the cost, making them a more affordable alternative for many borrowers. Understand the facts and risks of different types of loans before you commit. United Finance offers traditional installment loans and has loan officers available at every location to discuss your needs.

Do traditional installment loans require a car title?

Depending on your ability to meet standard credit criteria traditional loans can require collateral for approval. Popular loan collateral is a title to a vehicle. While these loans use a car title they are very different from the loans that have become defined by the term car title loan or pay day loan.
