Affirm is a financing alternative to credit cards and other credit payment products. Affirm offers real-time financing for purchases online. With Affirm, you can buy and receive your purchase now, and pay for it in fixed monthly installments from 3 to 24 months. For example, instead of $1,500 up front, pay only $63 a month at 0% APR over 24 months. A down payment may be required.

Here is what Affirm offers:

• Buy and receive your purchase now, and pay for it over time. This allows you to split up the price of your purchase into fixed payment amounts that fit your monthly budget.
• If Affirm approves you for a loan, Affirm discloses your loan terms before you make your purchase. You’ll know exactly how much you’ll owe each month, the number of payments you must make, and the total amount of interest you’ll be paying over the course of the loan. Affirm does not charge hidden fees.
• The application process is secure and in real-time. Affirm asks you for a few pieces of information. After you provide this information, Affirm will notify you of the loan amount you’re approved for, the interest rate, and the number of months you will have to pay off your loan, all within seconds.
• You don’t need to have a credit card to make a purchase. Affirm lends to its partners directly on your behalf.
• Affirm bases its loan decision not only on your credit score, but also on several other data points about you. You may be eligible for Affirm financing even if you don’t have an extensive credit history.

Credit Card:

Splitit requires no application or registration. There is an instant approval by using the shoppers existing credit card level.

Splitit sends you credentials so you can log in to the Splitit consumer portal to check your installment status and view other information regarding your purchase. The portal can also be found in the footer of the website.

 

 

Yes, you can. This option is available on your Splitit consumer portal or you can contact our customer care at support@splitit.com.

 

 

Nothing. If you use a Splitit installment plan there is no impact on your credit score. The bank simply sees the individual installment charges each month. If one of your payment authorizations is declined, there is still no effect on your credit rating; it is simply a declined charge.

Katapult provides you with an available Katapult lease to own amount that can be used to lease products once you are pre-approved. Your available Katapult limit can be viewed on the success page of your application, in emails that Katapult sends upon approval, and on your personal account page here. Pre-approvals are not guaranteed indefinitely and may change based on varying factors, such as your personal financial circumstances, where you shop, and how long ago you applied, among other factors. Katapult may change your pre-approval in our sole discretion, at any time, without notice to you. Review the Customer Portal for your most recent pre-approval information.

Yes. We charge and collect sales tax. Sales tax is added to all lease to own payments and buyouts.

Not currently, but this is something we are working on for the future, so check back with us.

 

No, we offer you a lease to own program. Customers are entering into a lease purchase agreement to lease products with an option to own, by exercising an Early Purchase Option or making all lease to own payments scheduled in the lease purchase agreement. The lease purchase agreement is not a credit transaction. Lease to own payments do not include an interest rate or APR and these will not be used to calculate the lease amount.

We consider the following four factors when calculating the lease to own payment.

1. The cash price of the product
2. The state in which the customer resides
3. The maximum term a customer can lease the product
4. The state/city sales tax rate

 

 

Please contact the retailer to cancel your order before it has been delivered. We will cancel your lease purchase agreement once we receive the retailer’s confirmation that the order has been canceled. If you want to cancel the lease purchase agreement after the product has been delivered to your home, you will need to reach out to the Katapult Customer Service Team to coordinate the return by calling 833- KATAPULT (528-2785) or via email to help@katapult.com or by using the LiveChat feature.

 

 

Your first lease to own payment is due at checkout. Then recurring lease to own payments are automatically charged to the card you provided at checkout. You can also make lease to own payments by logging into your Katapult account. You can access your lease purchase agreement account information on our site by clicking here. Please contact customer service using Live Chat or call at 833- KATAPULT (528-2785) if you need to update your account or payment information.

No credit? Bad credit? No problem. We understand that things come up in life. We work with customers that have no credit, bad credit or a bankruptcy. “No credit required” does not mean nor imply that no inquiry will be made of credit history or creditworthiness. We may check past transactional history and report information about your lease purchase agreement to credit reporting agencies, but no established credit history is necessary.

 

 

Loans generally offer lower recurring payments than lease purchase agreements, while lease purchase agreements offer the flexibility of continuing to lease, buy, or return the product. Also, there is no danger of penalty interest (be that compounding or deferred) or loan acceleration with Katapult.

Katapult Lease purchase agreement: You make the appropriate lease purchase agreement payments on or before the due date for the use of your products. With each payment you may choose one of three options:

 

 

Our auto-renewing lease purchase agreements are 12 – 18 months depending on the lease amount and state in which the customer resides. With a Katapult lease purchase agreement you have three options:

1.) Continue to make lease payments and a portion of every payment goes toward reducing the buyout price.

2.) Buy the products outright at any time during your lease purchase agreement term.

3.) Return your item(s)

For more information regarding the terms of your Katapult lease purchase agreement you can contact Katapult by calling 833- KATAPULT (528-2785) or by using LiveChat.

 

 

 

Customers have the right to return their product within 30 days of receipt of their product or such other deadline as stated in your return policy and receive a refund of applicable money paid with the exclusion of the initial $45 payment, unless refunding the initial payment is required by applicable law. Your return policy stays in effect for transactions made with Katapult.

If your return window of 30 days (or more where applicable) has passed, customers may contact Katapult and return the product(s) to Katapult, releasing them from future payments.

If returns are applicable by your retailer, please contact Katapult’s customer service by calling 833- KATAPULT (528-2785) or via email returns@katapult.com or using LiveChat.
