Retail Finance Interest Rates and Fees

Over 1,500 retail stores throughout New Zealand use our Credit Sales facility. From furniture to home electronics, car accessories to musical instruments, we provide retail finance solution to a wide range of retail providers.

Our retailers can provide a wide range of credit options that can vary throughout the year depending on what they utilise for promotion. This can include the following products:

Interest Bearing

A standard interest bearing contract that allows you to pay for the goods at a fixed rate over a fixed period of time. The first payment is due 1 month from the contract start date with terms available from 3 to 48 months.

Our current average interest is 13.09%.

All of our Retailers can provide you with a full quote including all interest rates, fees and total repayments at their store. We recommend you obtain and review the quote carefully within prior to proceeding with any finance contract.

Deferred Interest Bearing

This is where your first payment is deferred for an agreed period, and is an interest contract that allows you to pay for the goods at a fixed interest rate over a fixed period of time. The first payment is delayed by the deferred period which can be from 3 to 12 months. The contract accrues interest over the full term including the deferred term.

Combination of Interest Free to Interest Bearing

This is a combo product where you receive a deferred interest free period followed by an interest bearing period. You are only charged interest from the date the deferred interest free period ends. The interest free period is deferred with the 1st payment being due at the end of the selected deferred period from the contract start date. At the end of the deferred period, the interest free period begins for an agreed period with the 1st monthly payment being due 1 month from the Interest free period start date. At the end of the interest free period as agreed in the contract terms, the annual interest rate is charged on the outstanding balance over the remaining term (you may pay off the balance at any time). If you pay off the contract within the interest free period they are only required to pay the amount borrowed plus any applicable fees.

Based on the retailers product type they can offer a wide range of interest rates and terms available from 3 to 48 months. To obtain their latest offering you will need to enquire in store where one of their staff can provide you with the details of their current finance deal including current interest rates and fees.
