People want to make the best financial decisions they can so that they have as much economic stability as possible. For most people, this involves a line of credit of some kind. The lines of credit that a person chooses to use can be a major factor in how their finances take shape overall and what purchases they are able to make. The challenge is that there are multiple credit options that you can offer to consumers. Let\u2019s look at the differences between revolving credit and installment credit.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

You\u2019re probably very familiar with revolving credit, but you might not realize it because it\u2019s not often called by name. A very common example of revolving credit is a credit card (or in some cases a line of credit). Typically the limit someone can borrow or use is fixed, and it doesn\u2019t change when payments are made. As long as somebody does not exceed that limit, they can use the credit as often as needed.<\/p>

So in a revolving credit option, the customer is not borrowing a single, large amount upfront, and there\u2019s no formal payment plan. The lender will typically require a minimum payment each month based on how much of the revolving credit line is used, but that is a fluid number.<\/p>

Because a consumer has the ability to use as much of the credit as they\u2019d like at any given time, the lender is theoretically at greater risk, so they\u2019ll typically charge higher interest rates (with interest being due on the amount of the credit used, not the total amount of the credit line). Additionally, most lenders tend to start people off at lower credit limits and build it up over time based on their spending and payment history.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

You\u2019re probably even more familiar with installment credit if you or anyone you know has ever had a car or mortgage payment. Installment credit is an amount of money that is given with a specific amount of time to pay it back (known as the \u201cloan term\u201d). The amount of money borrowed is referred to as the principal. The borrower agrees to pay installments at a predetermined time\u2013 typically monthly \u2014 over the loan term (which can be as long as several years).<\/p>\n

Some other examples of installment loans are student loans, personal loans. In every case, you\u2019ll know exactly how much the customer needs to pay each month, and the length of time those payments have to be made. The amount of the loan doesn\u2019t typically increase, so if the customer needs more credit, they would have to formally apply for it.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
