Q&A: What type of contract is a personal loan where installment payments are made monthly?

Question by skye_12299: What type of contract is a personal loan where installment payments are made monthly?
I live in the state of Ohio and I am trying to figure out if the personal loan I signed for through a financial institution is considered written contract, written account, or promissory. I made monthly installment payments.

It is often called a “promissory note” but it is also a “written contract” (as apposed to a oral contract). I have never heard of a “written account” other than in the sense of a story “written down” not as a kind of financial instrument.
