About Signature Loans
- What is a signature loan?
A signature loan is an installment loan, which allows you to pay a loan over a longer period of time than a traditional payday loan.3 Signature loans at ACE allow you to repay the loan in scheduled payments that are substantially equal in amount (last payment may vary slightly). This loan can be repaid early, which may save you interest and CSO fees (where applicable). A signature loan also allows you to schedule your payments at your convenience on or before each payment due date by using either a bank account or a debit card.4 You can also pay by visiting an ACE store, by calling us, or by mailing your payment using a check or money order.
- Are signature loans available in my state? How much can I borrow?
Signature loans are available online in Texas and range from $200 - $2,000.
If approved, the amount you may borrow will depend upon your income and standard underwriting criteria.
- Can spouses have separate loans?
Yes. Each customer is treated individually, and each spouse can apply separately for a loan.

- How and when can I pay back?
You can make each payment online using our payment portal, by visiting an ACE store, by calling us at (800) 996-3149, or by mailing your payment using a check or money order.
You can schedule your online loan payment using your bank account or debit card. Please note that payments from your bank account must be scheduled for the date the payment is due. Payments from your debit card may be scheduled for any date on or before each payment due date.
