If you’re struggling to make a purchase, there are a few reasons why your Zilch card might have been declined. Here are some solutions to get you shopping again.

Zilch is linked to your debit card, so before you make a purchase, double-check you have the funds in that account to cover the payment.

Want to Pay over 6 weeks? The first payment of up to 50% (plus any fees) is taken at checkout. Be sure to have at least 25-50% of the purchase price in your linked debit account when you checkout.

If you miss a payment, we may put a temporary block on your Zilch account. Don’t worry, your account will automatically be reinstated once the payment has cleared.

Before you can shop, you need to enable your Zilch card. Enabling your card takes just a second. Follow the instructions below:

An RCA is simply a Revolving Credit Agreement. We need you to sign this before you can make any Pay over 6 weeks purchases. Occasionally, we might update our terms of service and will need you to sign the latest version of the RCA. Don’t worry, we’ll always notify you of this via email first.

To sign the RCA, just head to your Zilch account and sign in. Once that’s sorted, you’re free to start shopping.
