- $500 to $3,000 revolving — draw what you need, repay, and draw again up to your limit.
- Interest on drawn amount only — an unused line costs you nothing in interest.
- Same 99%–399% APR range — the revolving structure does not make it cheaper.
- Fewer states than installment — the line of credit is available in a subset of Integra’s 24 states.
Our verdict: useful flexibility, but only if you draw sparingly and repay fast.

Revolving credit from $500 to $3,000 with no fixed payment schedule. Draw what you need, pay interest only on your outstanding balance, and your available credit replenishes as you repay.
How the line of credit works
An Integra Credit personal line of credit is an open-ended, revolving credit product. Unlike an installment loan where you borrow a fixed amount up front, a line of credit gives you a credit limit you can draw against whenever you need funds. You pay interest only on the portion you have actually drawn, and as you repay the principal, your available credit is restored.

APR Disclosure
Integra Credit personal loans and lines of credit carry triple-digit APRs (99%–399%) that vary by state and product. These are high-cost credit products designed for borrowers who do not qualify for traditional bank financing. Before applying, confirm you cannot access a lower-cost alternative such as a credit union personal loan, a secured credit card, or employer-based pay advance. Loan amounts, rates, and terms depend on state law and credit review.
When a line of credit beats an installment loan
Lines of credit shine when you cannot predict exactly how much you will need to borrow, or when you expect multiple smaller draws rather than one lump sum.
- Uncertain repair costs — Your mechanic says the engine needs work, but the final bill depends on what they find once they open it up
- Medical procedures with variable billing — Initial estimate plus potential follow-up charges
- Multi-week cash flow smoothing — Covering several bills while you wait for a pay cycle shift
- Emergency buffer — Access to credit without committing to a full loan balance until you actually need it
How interest is calculated
Interest accrues daily on your outstanding balance. If your credit limit is $1,500 but you have only drawn $400, you pay interest on $400 — not the full $1,500. When you repay $100, your outstanding balance drops to $300 and interest from that point forward is calculated on the lower amount.
Minimum payments are required each billing cycle. These typically cover accrued interest plus a portion of principal. You can always pay more than the minimum to reduce the balance faster and pay less interest overall.
Example cost comparison
Revolving credit options compared by APR
| | Scenario | Line of credit cost | Installment loan cost |
|---|
| Draw $500, repay in 60 days | ~$40–$70 interest | Not possible — fixed 6+ month term |
| Draw $1,000, carry for 6 months | ~$450–$750 interest | ~$480 interest (fixed term) |
| Multiple draws totaling $1,500 over 4 months | ~$400–$600 total interest | N/A — would need multiple loans |
Illustrative figures. Actual interest depends on state, exact APR assigned, and timing of draws and repayments.
Line of credit cautions
Revolving credit discipline matters. The feature that makes a line of credit flexible — always-available credit — also makes it easy to stay in debt indefinitely. Paying only the minimum at Integra's APR can keep you in the debt cycle for years. Treat the line of credit as a short-term bridge, not a long-term credit source.
State availability
The personal line of credit product is available in fewer states than Integra's installment loan. Check the state availability page or begin prequalification to confirm which product is offered in your state.

The structural trap in revolving subprime credit
A line of credit at 99%–399% APR behaves differently from an installment loan at the same rate, and the difference works against the borrower.
An installment loan has a fixed payoff date. Make the payments, and on a known day you are done. That end date is a form of protection — it caps your exposure.
A line of credit has no end date. Repaying frees up the limit, which makes drawing again easy at exactly the moment you have proven you can repay. The product is designed around that loop, and in the subprime tier the loop is where borrowers get stuck.
What minimum payments actually do
On a $2,000 drawn balance at 249% APR, the interest accruing each month is roughly $415. A minimum payment set near that figure barely touches principal. A borrower paying the minimum on a $2,000 balance could pay for years and still owe most of the original amount.
This is not a hidden term — it is arithmetic that follows directly from the disclosed rate. But it surprises people, and it is the single most common complaint theme from line-of-credit borrowers specifically.
When a line of credit genuinely fits
There is a real use case, and it is narrow:
- You face several small, unpredictable expenses over a few months rather than one known cost
- You can repay each draw within weeks, not months
- You will leave the line undrawn between uses — an unused line costs nothing in interest
- You have the discipline to not treat available credit as income
If all four hold, the flexibility has value and the interest cost stays small because the balance stays small and short-lived.
When an installment loan is the better choice
If you know the amount you need and it is a single expense, take the installment loan instead. The fixed payoff date is worth more than the flexibility you give up.
The clearest signal: if you are thinking of the line of credit as a cushion or a safety net rather than as funding for a specific known cost, that framing is the problem. A 249% APR safety net is not a safety net.
State availability is narrower
Integra offers the line of credit in a subset of its 24 states. Some states regulate open-end credit differently from closed-end installment lending, and Integra does not hold open-end authority everywhere it holds installment authority. Check our state page for your state specifically.
Cheaper revolving alternatives
If revolving access is what you actually need, these cost far less:
Revolving credit options compared by APR
| | Option | Typical APR | Notes |
|---|
| Secured credit card | 20%–30% | Requires a refundable deposit; builds credit on all three bureaus |
| Credit union line of credit | 12%–18% | Requires membership and usually fair credit |
| Subprime unsecured card | 25%–36% | Low limits and annual fees, but far below 249% |
| Integra Credit LOC | 99%–399% | Widest approval, highest cost |
A secured card at 25% APR serves the same revolving function at roughly a tenth of the interest cost. The trade is the upfront deposit, which is a real barrier if you have no cash — but it is worth exhausting before accepting triple-digit revolving credit.
