So the question is this… can your business afford not to offer competitive finance options?


Help your customers stay connected

Many of us regularly replace and upgrade computers, televisions and other gadgets as technology evolves and develops. That’s a lot of repeat custom coming your way. But are you ready to offer the payment options customers expect?

For others, it’s simply more convenient to spread the cost over time. That’s where retail finance comes in. When you partner with Novuna Consumer Finance, your customers can purchase almost anything using finance, including…

Computers

Home appliances

Televisions

Benefits of electricals finance

In the current world of same day deliveries, your customers are used to getting what they want when they want it. You can make that happen with retail finance, benefiting both your customers and your business.

Outperform your customers’ expectations

Whether you’re looking to attract more customers by making your products more accessible, or aiming to re-engage and retain existing customers, retail finance can help.

Read our guide to find out why so many customers take advantage of finance when funding their electricals.

Boost your sales

If a customer wants to make a purchase but doesn’t quite have the funds ready to go, they’re going to abandon that basket and walk away. But you can make sure that doesn’t happen.

Our retail finance solutions allow them to buy now and pay over time, helping you to turn browsers into buyers.

“Finance is a great way to engage and convert new customers.”

We’ve been working with leading computer equipment provider, PCSpecialist, for over 15 years. Our buy now pay later finance option allows customers to purchase equipment straight away and defer payment for up to a year. This not only attracts new customers, but also persuades existing customers to spend more on the high-end device they really have their eye on.

Flexible finance solutions for savvy consumers

We offer three main POS credit solutions to give you and your customers greater choice and flexibility.

Interest free finance

With 0% finance, you can allow customers to repay in equal monthly instalments spread over a pre-agreed timeframe. No catch, no interest charges.

Interest bearing credit

Customers will be charged interest when spreading the cost over time. Typically they will be able to borrow for longer too – which can be a great option for pricier purchases.

Buy now pay later

Customers can defer payment and then spread the cost of their purchase, plus interest, over a specified period. If they settle in full before the end of the non-payment period, there’s no interest to pay (though an early settlement fee may apply).

Here's what our partners say

“Novuna Consumer Finance was a frontrunner, from the very beginning of our search. Not only did they offer the support we were looking for in terms of increasing our sales, but they also had a system in place that was simple for our retailers on the shop floor to interact and transact with.

“Overall the level of service we receive is exceptional. Our account manager has been supportive at every level. As a result of the service we receive we no longer use the other providers we had as part of our portfolio. Novuna Consumer Finance is now our sole provider.”

Matt Sheldrake, RETRA
