You will not make any payment to us for processing a finance application or for introducing you to a PayPal Credit. All charges that you will pay will be clearly shown on the finance agreement.
Commission disclosure
we do not receive any commission for introducing customers to PayPal Credit.
Understanding our products and documents
If you have any health issues, difficulty in understanding information or
there any recent life events that could affect your ability to fully
understand the information and documentation you are presented with or
what your commitments are under the agreement, you should carefully
consider the amount of time you require to review the documentation. You
should also consider if it is advisable for you to have someone you know,
help you make your decision. Please advise us accordingly if this is the
case and we can then proceed with your requirements in the most
appropriate way.
You should make sure you have sufficient time to assess the information
given to ensure the funding option offered is suitable for you and meets
your requirements. You should seek further explanations and ask questions
if needed to fully understand the documents you are given.
Affordability
You should assess the monthly payments you are required to make throughout
the agreement and ensure you are able to meet these obligations and other
obligations you already have without suffering undue hardship. If you are
aware of any future events that will affect your ability to meet these
payments, you should ensure the provider is informed immediately.
Your credit rating could be adversely affected if you do not make payments
when due which could make it harder or more expensive for you to access
finance facilities in the future
