1. Short-term financing plan

Only a certain part of the amount is supposed to be paid at the time of purchase. Some promotional period is given wherein no interest is charged if the full amount is paid. After that, interest is paid only on the remaining balance. Hence, it is convenient for consumers, as it finances them free of cost.

2. No adverse effect on credit score

If people in Vancouver or anywhere in the world pay the amount regularly and on time, it doesn’t hamper their credit scores. But if they defer payment or fail to do so, it could affect their credit score adversely which is obvious too.

3. Easy finance option

Interest-free Payment plans, also known as ‘point of sale installment loans’, are widely accepted by people while shopping online as well as offline. Generally, applying for a loan involves a lot of formalities and paperwork but it is not the case here. This option is highly convenient for consumers.

4. Hassle-free process

Approval for such payment plans is a lot easier than the conventional ways of obtaining finance like loans or credit cards. Application is normally done with only a single click, requires easy signup and people do not need to fulfill any lengthy paperwork.

5. Uncomplicated payment structure

Interest-free Payments have a very simple payment structure. The buyer needs to pay only a certain amount at the time of purchase and the remaining amount at the decided date(s). The period generally varies from 6 months to 24 months, depending on the ‘loan’ amount, which is pretty convenient.
