PayPal Credit
What is PayPal Credit?
PayPal Credit is like a credit card, without the plastic. It's a credit limit that's attached to your PayPal account which you can use for your online purchases.
Appliancentre Ltd acts as a credit broker and is not a lender. PayPal Credit acts as the lender and is a trading name of PayPal (Europe) S.Ã .r.l et Cie, S.C.A. 22-24 Boulevard Royal L-2449, Luxembourg.
No card. No hassle. Just credit with plenty of benefits.
What credit options are there?
A 0% interest offer you can use again and again, get 0% for 4 months whenever you spend over £99*.
Or, you can spread the cost of purchases with one of the following instalment offers:
- 12 months at 16.9% APR - available for minimum order value of £99
- 18 months at 16.9% APR - available for minimum order value of £199
- 36 months at 16.9% APR - available for minimum order value of £499
*The minimum payment due still applies to 0% offer balances. Any remaining balance due after the 4-month promotional period or any transactions under £99 will be charged interest at 21.9% p.a. (variable). In order to maintain the 0% offer, you need to keep up monthly repayments and stay within your credit limit.
