Yes it will.....but only if the lending institution reports to the credit bureau, not all of them report and sometimes they only report when it's negative, or a late payment. Ask your lending institution what their policy is on reporting. But generally, when the owner of your installment loan reports to the credit bureau on a monthly basis and your installment loan takes at least six months to pay down, it will improve your credit. Rule of thumb though, negative marks on your credit report take more points away than positive marks add to, it sucks, but it's true.
