What is retail financing?

Retail financing refers to various lending solutions offered to consumers at the point of sale, allowing them to purchase products or services without having to pay the full amount upfront. This type of financing often involves installment payments, lines of credit , lease-to-own, and more, and is designed to make purchasing more accessible by spreading the cost over time. Retail financing can increase sales for merchants by offering customers greater flexibility and purchasing power at their moment of need.

What is retail customer finance?

Retail customer finance, also known as retail consumer financing, is the same as retail financing and is an essential tool for merchants to increase their customers’ purchasing power. Retail customer finance usually involves partnerships with third-party lenders and credit providers. This arrangement allows customers to pay for purchases over time rather than upfront.
