A payday advance is repaid on a pay date, while an instalment loan is repaid over a set number of payments.

Variable-rate products move with a reference rate, while fixed-rate products set the price for a defined term. Adding a co-signer puts a second file in front of the lender and adds a second person to the obligation.
