What are short term loans?
Short term loans are a type of personal loan that is usually paid back in a short period of time. This could range from a few weeks up to a year, depending on the lender. Short term loans can help borrowers with unexpected problems, like repairing a faulty boiler or paying for a costly MOT, without committing to a long-term agreement.

What are the benefits of short term loans?
Short term loans shouldn't be considered a long term financial solution, but they offer several benefits if used appropriately:
- They can be a quick way of getting money for emergencies
- You can pay your short term loan back in manageable instalments
- They have a relatively short repayment period, compared to some other types of personal loans.

Short term loans can even help build up your credit rating if you make your repayments in full and on time.
What's the difference between short term loans and payday loans?
The difference between short term loans and payday loans is the number of repayments you will make. Payday loans, as the name suggests, are paid back in one or two lump sums after you receive your next wage or salary. Whereas, with a short term loan you make smaller repayments over a longer period of time.
If you're deciding between a short term loan or a payday loan, you'll need to evaluate your financial circumstances. If you're confident that you can repay the full loan amount, the next time you are paid, you may want to consider a payday loan. However, if you wish to pay back the loan in manageable weekly instalments that fit around your lifestyle and other outgoings, a short term loan may be a better option.
