Welcome to empowered spending with Zilch. Our game plan is to give you total freedom over how you pay (and give you some sweet rewards, too).

Choose whether to Pay over 6 weeks* and split the cost of payment over a six-week period – you’ll still need to pay from 25% (plus any fees) upfront and the purchase will need to fall within your credit limit. Or you can opt to Pay Now and get up to 5% back in Zilch Rewards.

*From 18.1% APR representative
