Approximately a 670-credit store
Be at least 18 years old
Open Accounts:
A valid copy of their identification

How it Works:
Customers are given a credit limit based off of their credit score
Months are determined based off the amount financed not the total amount of the invoice.
The customer will not be billed for their items until after they take possession of their merchandise.
The bill is received 30-45 days from delivery
If the customer takes possession of their merchandise on separate dates, it will be billed separately.
Two different payment plans
0% APR if Paid in Full: Customer will receive a minimum payment based off their total and they have the allotted months to pay off without interest
Equal Payments: The total financed is divided by the total amount of months they have to pay off.
Customers are required to put 10% down unless approved by a manager.
