Can I pay the processing fee in instalments or do I have to pay it upfront?

Typically, processing fees for loans or credit products are required to be paid upfront. However, it is advisable to check with the specific lender regarding their policies and options for paying the processing fee. Some lenders may offer the option to add the processing fee to the loan amount, but this may also result in an increase in the total cost of the loan due to interest charges.
