A revolving product charges interest on the outstanding balance, while an instalment product charges a fixed schedule of payments.

Payment history is reported to credit agencies, and that record is what builds or damages a credit file over time. Variable-rate products move with a reference rate, while fixed-rate products set the price for a defined term.
