Refunds on Purchases

How do refunds work?

Pay Monthly: All returns are subject to the merchant’s return and cancellation policy.

Full Refund: If the entire purchase is returned to the merchant, it is considered a full return. The merchant will credit the loan balance with the purchase amount, which pays off the principal. If a full return is made within 45 days of the loan opening, you will receive a complete refund, including any interest paid on the loan. If a full return is made after the 45 days, you will receive a refund of the principal balance but not any interest paid.

Partial Refund: A partial return will reduce the principal balance. The remaining principal and interest (if applicable to your Pay Later loan) will still be due on your loan. As a result, you may pay off the loan sooner, depending on the size of the return.

What happens if I return everything?

All returns are subject to the merchant’s return and cancellation policy. If the entire purchase is returned to the merchant, it is considered a full return.

Pay Monthly:If a full return is made within 45 days of the loan opening, you will receive a complete refund, including any interest paid on the loan. If a full return is made after the 45 days, you will receive a refund of the principal balance but not any interest paid.

I have a credit balance on my loan. How can I get my money back?

Pay Monthly: If there is a credit balance on the loan, a refund check will be sent to you automatically at 45 days. Alternatively, you can reach out to customer service to request the refund prior to that time.

How do I cancel a transaction after placing an order but before the order is received?

Cancellations are subject to the merchant’s order cancellation policy. Please contact the merchant if you would like to cancel a transaction before receiving the item(s).

Who should I talk to about goods/services issues (e.g., damaged, not received, not what I ordered, etc.)?

All issues with the goods or services should be referred first to the merchant for resolution.

How will my Initial Payment be refunded if my purchase was cancelled or returned?

Pay Monthly: If the amount of your Initial Payment exceeds the total purchase amount, we will provide you with a refund of the excess amount. The refund will be provided either to the original payment method or via check, at our discretion.
