3-month loans offer a degree of flexibility that payday loans can’t match, enabling borrowers to spread repayment over three monthly instalments rather than pay back a single lump sum. For many people, short-term 3-month loans are considerably more convenient (and affordable) than payday loans — especially when larger loan amounts are needed.

How do I repay a 3-month loan?

Most 3-month payday loans from direct lenders are repaid in 3 equal monthly instalments. The lender will make arrangements to collect payments from your bank account at monthly intervals, so you wont need to worry about forgetting repayments.

Your repayment plan (that forms part of the loan agreement) will confirm the three payment amounts and collection dates so that you can plan ahead with certainty.

Important Information

We are not a lender and do not make credit decisions. We match customer applications with lenders in our network based on the information provided and are paid a fee by our partners following an introduction. There is no guarantee that you will be accepted by a lender or that you will be offered terms suitable for your financial needs. This website does not directly endorse any particular product or service and any information on this site should serve as opinion only.

Loan approval: All loan offers are subject to lender final approval. Approval/transfer times vary by lender. Not all lenders may be able to transfer funds in 15 minutes. Approvals/transfers may take longer for applications processed outside normal working hours. If your bank does not support faster payments, it may take longer for funds to reach your account.

Credit checks: When assessing your eligibility for a loan, lenders will carry out a soft search; only you can see them on your credit report and they have no impact on your credit rating. If you accept a lender's loan offer, they will perform a hard credit search which will be visible to any company searching your credit file for 12 months.
