Monthly financing, up to 36 months
When a purchase is too big for a few installments, spread it further. These plans come from our licensed banking partner, which means real disclosures and a rate you see before you agree.
How financing differs from our short plans
This is the one part of our range that behaves like traditional consumer credit, and we would rather say so plainly.
| Pay in 3 | Monthly financing | |
|---|---|---|
| Provided by | Scalapay | Licensed banking partner |
| Interest | 0% | May apply |
| Term | 2 months | 6 to 36 months |
| Credit check | No hard check | Assessed as credit |
| Reported to bureaus | Generally not | Usually |
| Disclosures | Schedule at checkout | Full APR and total cost |
| Early repayment | Allowed | Allowed, reduces interest |
If a plan carries a rate, the number that matters is the total cost, not the monthly figure.
Longer is not automatically better
The monthly figure falls as the term grows. The total does not.
A longer term makes sense when
Cases where it earns its place.
- The item outlasts the planFurniture used for a decade financed over two years is a sensible trade. Paying for furniture →
- The order is genuinely largeAbove roughly $1,500 a third of the total is still a substantial payment.
- Your budget needs the roomA payment you can comfortably cover for 12 months beats one you cannot cover for two.
- You plan to pay aheadEarly repayment reduces the interest, so a longer term with the intention to finish early is a hedge.
Think twice when
Where a long term costs more than it helps.
- The item dates quicklyA phone replaced next year on a 36-month plan means paying for something you no longer use. Paying for tech →
- You have not read the totalA low monthly figure at a real APR can add a lot over three years.
- A short plan would fitIf you can clear it in two months at 0%, that is cheaper by definition. See Pay in 3 →
- Other plans are already runningA three-year commitment stacked on existing plans is a long shadow. Staying in control →
Read the total, not the monthly figure. Your banking partner presents the APR, the term and the total amount payable at checkout for you to review before you agree to anything.
