An instalment loan has a fixed number of fixed payments, sized larger and longer than a payday advance, with the schedule set at the start.

A larger amount or a longer term usually raises the total interest even when the payment falls.

Prepayment terms vary, and some agreements allow extra payments while others attach a charge.
