Since 1962, World Finance has provided Personal Installment Loans focusing on the customer’s stability and willingness to pay. Our Personal Installment Loans do not have large balloon payments and are not payday loans. At World Finance, we work with customers to build transparent pay-back schedules that have a fixed rate and affordable payments over the term of the loan, which helps to build credit.
