How does my installment loan work?

Tala's Installment Loan is designed to fit your lifestyle, not the other way around. Unlike a traditional single-payment loan, here you control how you divide your commitment.

Total flexibility in your payments

With this option, you decide the rules when hiring:

  • Choose your monthly payments: You can divide your total loan into up to 4 monthly payments .
  • You set the date: Select the day of the month that best suits you to make your payments (ideally aligned with your income).
  • Higher amounts: By splitting the payment, you have the possibility of accessing higher loan limits to cover more important expenses or emergencies with complete peace of mind.

What happens if I fall behind on a monthly payment?

We know that unexpected things happen. If you can't make your payment by the due date, Tala offers options to minimize the impact:

  • Partial payments: We recommend paying as much as you can, even if it's not the full monthly payment. This reduces the outstanding balance on which fees are calculated.
  • Collection fee: If you are late, a 5% fee is applied to the outstanding amount of each installment.

Advantages of staying up to date

Organizing your finances with the installment system allows you to:

  1. Cover additional expenses without depleting your savings in a single month.
  2. Maintain an impeccable record to keep leveling up in "Grow with Tala" .
  3. Avoid unnecessary financial pressures thanks to more convenient and smaller payments.
