Online payday loan alternatives from CashNetUSA.
When people are in a pinch for a cash advance, they may look to payday loans to address their needs. CashNetUSA doesn’t offer payday loans, but we do offer lines of credit and installment loans. In some instances, these products provide similar funding amounts to payday loans but offer greater flexibility. With our line of credit, you receive access to a set amount of funds that you can access as needed. With our installment loan, you receive a one-time lump sum that you repay gradually over time. To learn if our funding options are available in your state, check out our Rates & Terms page.
How do payday loans compare with installment loans?
Payday loans and installment loans are similar in that they are both term loans. You receive a lump sum of money from a lender and repay it over a specific period of time, known as the “loan term.” Payday loans are short-term loans, generally repaid on the customer’s next payday. Installment loans can be used as short-term loans, but typically have much longer repayment periods. View the table below for other ways these two funding products compare.
How do payday loans compare with lines of credit?
Lines of credit are another type of funding that people use when they need fast funding. Unlike a term loan, lines of credit are a form of “open-end” credit. Open-end (or “revolving”) credit means that as you repay, the money becomes available to borrow again. This way you don’t need to reapply for funds — you can access more right from your account.

A payday loan is a form of personal loan. However personal loans commonly refer to installment loans. The main differences between payday loans and installment loans are the repayment periods and loan amounts. Normally, payday loans are issued for smaller dollar amounts than installment loans and are repaid within a few weeks.
Installment loans, on the other hand, can be issued for larger amounts of money than payday loans, depending on the borrower, location and lender. The loan repayment term for an installment loan is also typically longer, which can range from a few months to a few years.
At CashNetUSA, we strive to provide a fast and hassle-free funding process. Customers are generally funded the same day if they apply and receive approval before 1:30 p.m. CT Monday – Friday. Applications approved other times are generally funded the next business day.† The exact timing of receipt of funds depends on the customer's banking institution.
