Apple Discontinues Financing Options in the United Kingdom

They obviously got rid of financing in Canada and the U.K. because there were just too many extra u's to deal with when people wanted to finance their "favourite" products. In the U.S. it's much less of a hassle since they only have to offer financing for our "favorite" products. And that's not even considering dealing with different "colours" on various products. Until the British and Canadians get their spelling under control, they'll just have to find other financing options... (Hopefully people won't take this the wrong way—just a bit of "humour".)

T’is ‘u’ lot who can’t spell!!!

Why would anyone want Apple's credit anyway? John Lewis allows you to buy Apple stuff at 0% interest if you're wanting to do it that way.

What??? Whaaaaat??? Why isn’t anyone else up in arms about this? How the fudge am I gonna pony up for a goddamn MacBook that costs as much as a car when they finally release the model i want???

Right, I’m calm. This better be some temporary thing. Switching suppliers or offering their own credit or some nonsense.

As others have been pointing out where’s the story here? Zero interest (after a modest fee) on a credit card either via purchase or balance transfer is the way to do it. There’s always good deals to be had for new credit cards.

...yea, I don't understand this either as the IUP relies on Barclays to finance your phone??!? :confused:



That transaction will just be processed through PayPal and then PayPal just withdraw the funds from your bank account so its not actually done via PayPal Credit.

i.e. I have my current account linked to Paypal. If I choose PayPal at the checkout, when ordering Apple products on their website, it won't go via PayPal Credit anymore - PayPal just withdraw the funds from my linked current account.

You can still choose to fund the transaction through your existing PayPal credit though which won't come directly from your bank. Once you have PayPal credit it works essentially as an online only credit card.
