Pay in 3 - super helpful, easy and free (of charge)

5
Really useful to be able to spread payments over three months (for no charge, yay!) to help with cash flow. I use it often but especially at Christmas when it's helpful for funds to go a little further. It's great that it's so quick and easy, there's no messing around with application forms etc and I get reminders about upcoming payments. It's still really important to me to budget carefully and remember not to overstretch myself financially as it can be easy to forget future payments at times. I put an additional reminder in my phone calendar a couple of days ahead to make sure I don't lose track. Overall it's a great and really helpful facility. Reviewed on: 12th June 2024

I have been using PayPal to pay most of my eBay purchases as I don’t like to put my credit card info there and it has been fantastic for that. I am glad I have PayPal credit available to help me in this high inflation time in the U.K. hopefully the ukraine war ended soon and the energy bills can come down again. Reviewed on: 12th June 2024
