Etika offer an interest bearing finance option to help you spread the cost of your purchase over 24 months.

The value of the loan needs to be over £112.00 and you can choose a deposit from £10.00 up to 50% of the total value of the goods.

The approximate monthly payment is detailed on each product page and a full representative example based on your actual purchases will be provided before confirmation of order, you will be able to select your deposit level here too.

You will need to pass a credit check and make an initial upfront payment which will vary depending on the product you choose.

You need to agree to an online consumer credit agreement (14.9% APR) with etika (etika Finance UK Ltd) (the "lender"). You must complete and enter into the credit agreement for yourself, not on behalf of anybody else, and use your own bank account

To start your credit application, add the product you wish to buy to your basket. On Check Out please ensure you select “Pay by Finance”. Once the checkout procedure is finished you will then be asked to fill out your details such as your name, address history for the last 3 years, employment details and bank details for direct debit by etika.

This only takes a few minutes and in most cases an instant decision can be returned. Sometimes decisions may need to be referred for manual checks, which may only be carried out during working hours. You will be notified of the decision by email once these are complete if this is the case.

If your application is unsuccessful and you have already paid a deposit this will be refunded automatically within 3-5 working days.

If your application is successful your order will be fulfilled.

If you decide to proceed with a full application.

we will ask your permission to approach the credit reference agency for a complete search of your credit report, referred to as a 'hard credit check'. Each hard check is recorded on your report, so organisations searching it will be able to see that you've applied for credit.

All applications are subject to status and application.
