Is a deposit required?
No, although some retailers might still require one. If a deposit isn’t mandatory it is still recommended you consider a 10%+ deposit as this will both aid your chances of being accepted for finance and lower your monthly repayment amount.

All monthly payments are paid by direct debit from your personal bank account. Typically the first payment will be due one month after the delivery of your goods, subsequent monthly payments will be due every month for the length of your agreement.
