What is an installment loan?
An installment loan is repaid through a schedule of regular payments. Each payment follows the dates and frequency in the loan agreement until the balance is repaid. This differs from borrowing that is due in one lump sum.
Ace of Loans offers small personal-loan amounts from $250 to $1,250. Depending on the offer, payments may follow a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly schedule. The agreement provided before acceptance is the source of truth for the exact amount, dates, interest, applicable fees and total repayment.

♥ Know the difference
Installment loan, payday loan or line of credit?
Installment loan: a fixed amount with a defined schedule of payments. The balance decreases as scheduled payments are made.
Payday loan: generally a short loan tied to the borrower's next pay cycle and regulated under separate provincial rules. Ace of Loans does not describe its product as a payday loan.
Line of credit: revolving credit that can generally be borrowed again as it is repaid, up to an approved limit. An installment loan is a set advance rather than an ongoing credit limit.
The label alone does not show whether borrowing is affordable. Compare the APR, fees, payment amount, number of payments and total repayment for the specific offer.
What should you review before accepting?
Start with the required payment, not only the requested amount. Place every scheduled payment beside rent, groceries, utilities, transportation and existing debt obligations for the same period.
- Principal: the amount advanced to you.
- APR and fees: the annualized borrowing cost and any applicable charges disclosed in the agreement.
- Payment frequency: whether payments are weekly, bi-weekly or monthly.
- Amortization schedule: the dates and breakdown of payments over the loan.
- Total repayment: the total amount paid when the schedule is completed as agreed.
The maximum APR applicable to Ace of Loans products can reach up to 29%. Read the individual agreement before accepting; it controls if an example or estimate differs from the offered terms. You can also review the illustrative payment calculator, our guide to understanding APR, and the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada's guidance on comparing personal loans.
