Zilch and Electronics: Buy Now, Pay Later or Pay in 1 for Rewards

Blog | 20th Oct 2022 | 4min read

Whether you use them for work, play, or just to make the commute that little bit less painful, electronics are an integral part of our day-to-day lives. However, essential though they may be, they’re often expensive. 

This is where Zilch can help. We enable you to buy now and pay later for your tech products, so you can spread the cost over time.

Zilch is one of the UK’s top buy now, pay later providers — with us, you can pay 25% of the upfront price at checkout and divide the remainder into three more instalments, spread over six weeks with zero interest at thousands of selected retailers.

How it Works:

First off, you’ll need the Zilch app — download it on the App Store or Google Play, and make an account. 

To make your first purchase, select the store you want from our homepage. If you can’t find a store that stocks your gadgets, you can pay a small extra fee to use Zilch Anywhere and shop wherever you like — provided they accept Mastercard. We’re fully transparent — you’ll always be able to see whether we charge an extra fee to shop with your selected retailer before you buy. If you’d rather buy in-store, enable your card for your shop of choice and simply pay for your purchase at the till. 

You can pay using Zilch Pay in 4 and spread the cost over six weeks, or Pay in 1 and earn up to 2% back in Zilch Rewards. If you need a little more time, you can also Snooze to delay a payment. Plus, if you need a refund, the process is simple — payment is always as safe and secure as using a debit card.

Lovers of the latest iPhone will be pleased to know we offer buy now, pay later on electronics at Apple and plenty of your other favourite retailers.

Video Games & Consoles

The gaming industry is booming, and as our favourite characters get scaled into high-res and stocked up with new powers and abilities, their price tags are getting a one-up too.

Zilch buy now, pay later covers eBay purchases to make sure you can press buy before those auctions expire, and pay for it later.

Cameras

Camera models, lenses and stands are the bread and butter of photographers. If you have the vision, we can cover the tech — Zilch offers buy now, pay later on UK electronics retailers all over. Once you’ve paid the upfront 25% of the cost, you’ll have a six week window to pay the remaining instalments — so you can get snapping while we handle the rest. It’s that simple.
