FAQs - Snap finance

We have put together a list of frequently asked questions to help you with your application.

You can apply online by clicking here, which will take you through to our application form.

How do I apply?

We carry out a 'soft' search on your credit file to determine if you're eligible. This will not negatively impact your ability to obtain credit elsewhere but will allow us to decide if we can offer you a loan. Should you proceed to make a full loan application, a record, or 'hard' search will be registered on your credit file.

Will this affect my credit score?

We may decline your loan application if you do not meet our eligibility criteria or affordability criteria. If you have made an application within 30 days, the system automatically prevents a new application.

Why have I been declined?

Please contact us on 03300 109381 and we will send you or text you a link.

I have been approved but can't find my application details.

If you have already chosen a retailer contact them directly, alternatively our retail finder will allow you to search for a local, national or online retailer.

I have been approved what do I do next?

You have 30 days from application to place your order and pay your deposit before your finance offer expires. After this date you will need to make a new application.

I have been approved but I am not ready to pay the deposit yet, how long do I have?

This depends on the retailer you have chosen, please contact them direct or call us on 03300 109381 to discuss it.

What is the deposit amount?

Yes, if you have chosen your new retailer then please call us on 03300 109381 and we will be happy to change it for you.

If you have not yet chosen your retailer, please look on our retail finder.

Can I change my retailer if I have not yet paid the deposit?

Our retail finder will allow you to search for a local, national or online retailer.

How do I find a retailer local to me?

If you have been denied and it is your first time of applying, please wait 30 days before making a new application. If you have been Approved for finance and have made a new application within 30 days, then it is possible that you have been denied due to having a duplicate application. If this is the case, please call us on 03300 109381 and we will look into your application.

I have been denied, when can I re-apply?

If you have already been a customer of ours and your details have not changed you can use the returning customer section of our website to enable you to have a swifter application. If your details have changed, such as address, please apply from scratch.

I have been a customer before, how can I use you again?

Please cancel with the retailer then contact us.

We will confirm your cancellation and can then either:

Transfer it to a new chosen retailer if applicable, providing your application was approved within 30 days.

What do I do if I have cancelled my order?

Please contact the retailer who will discuss this with you. Once they have agreed to accept the goods back, please contact us once they have received them.

We can then agree to cancel your finance.

You are liable for any payments due up until the retailer confirms that they have received the goods, however any payments you have paid will be returned.

I want to return my order what do I do?

Your first payment date will be the one as stated on your loan agreement. This may change if you get your goods sooner than expected. Your first payment may also be brought forward. If there is a delay in delivery your first payment will not be until after the goods have been delivered.

When will my first payment date be?

This can be done once you have received the goods. Once you have your goods delivered, please call us on 03300 109381 to change your date. We can confirm the new date and what your new payment amount will be.

How do I change payment dates?

Yes, you can, please call us on 03300 109381 and we can do this over the phone with you.

Can I make additional payments?

Please call us on 03300 109381 and we can do this over the phone with you.

Can I find the balance of my loan?

If your payment is due on a weekend or a Bank Holiday, the payment will be taken on the Friday before. Should the Bank Holiday fall on a Friday the payment will be taken on the Thursday before.

If you don't want this to happen, please call us on 03300 109381 at least 3 days before the payment is due to be taken.

What happens if my payment falls on a weekend or bank holiday?

We do not currently have an App but are always working on improving our offering.

Do you have an app / account online?

If you have been denied and it is your first time of applying, please wait 30 days before making a new application.

If you have been Approved for finance and have made a new application within 30 days, then it is possible that you have been denied due to having a duplicate application.

If this is the case, please call us on 03300 109381 and we will investigate whether we can offer you finance.
