Short-term loans
Short-term loans — fixed payments, full cost shown.
Borrow a lump sum and repay in equal installments over a set term. Faster than a multi-year personal loan, more manageable than a single payday repayment. Full cost disclosed before you sign.
Key facts
Four things to understand before you apply for a short-term loan.
Fixed installments
Repay in equal monthly installments on a set schedule — not a single lump-sum payment.
Full cost upfront
APR, every fee, each payment date and the total repayable — all disclosed before you sign.
Shorter than personal
Designed for terms from a few months to two years — faster repayment than a multi-year personal loan.
State-licensed
Only available where Micropath Finance is licensed to operate. Confirm your state when you apply.
How short-term loans differ from payday loans
A short-term installment loan gives you a lump sum repaid in a series of equal payments over the agreed term — typically a few months to two years. Unlike a payday loan, the repayment is spread across multiple dates, which reduces the size of each individual payment. You see the full schedule before you sign.
When a short-term loan is the right fit
Short-term loans suit situations where the amount you need is too large for a single-payment advance but you want to clear the debt faster than a multi-year personal loan. Common uses: covering an unexpected expense over a few months, bridging a temporary income gap with predictable installments, or financing a smaller purchase you can repay within a year.
Fixed payments — what you see is what you pay
Every installment is the same amount on the same date each period. No variable payments, no rate surprises mid-term. Map each payment against your income schedule before you sign.
What your offer will show
Before anything is agreed, you see the loan amount, interest rate, APR, any origination fee, every installment date and amount, and the total repayable. The total repayable is the single most useful number — subtract the amount you received to get the absolute cost of the loan.
What to do if you expect to miss a payment
Contact us before the due date. Your agreement sets out the late fee and any grace period. Acting early is always better than missing a payment without notice.
What we review when you apply
We look at your credit history, income, existing obligations and the amount requested. Your credit score is one part of the picture. We assess your full financial profile.
Keep in mind. We control all offers, eligibility, terms and availability. Always review your full loan agreement before signing.
Common uses
What people use short-term loans for.

Home repairs
Fund urgent fixes — a broken boiler, roof damage, plumbing or electrical issue.
Medical bills
Bridge the gap between what insurance covers and what you owe out of pocket.
Essential appliances
Replace a refrigerator, washer, dryer or other essential appliance quickly.
Education costs

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
How is a short-term loan different from a payday loan?
A short-term loan is repaid in a series of fixed installments over several months — not in a single payment. This spreads the cost and reduces the size of each individual payment compared to a lump-sum payday repayment.
What are typical loan amounts and terms?
Amounts and terms vary by application. Terms typically range from a few months to two years. Your offer shows the exact term, each payment amount, each due date and the total repayable before you sign.
Is the rate fixed for the full term?
Yes. The interest rate is locked at the time of your offer. Your payment is the same amount each period for the full term — no variable-rate changes mid-term.
What happens if I miss a payment?
Contact us before the due date if you expect to be short. Your agreement sets out the late fee and grace period. Contacting us early is always better than missing a payment without notice.
Does applying affect my credit score?
A soft inquiry at the initial stage does not affect your score. A hard inquiry may be made before final approval. We confirm which applies before you proceed.
