Why Float
The better way to use your credit card.
Zero interest. Zero fees.
Four payments that add up to the price on the tag. Nothing more.
No forms. No credit checks.
No sign-up or application. You pay at checkout with your card details.
No new credit.
It runs on the limit you already have, so there's no new account to manage.
Rewards still count.
Every payment goes on your card, so you keep earning your bank's points.
On your statement
Only one payment shows each month.
Float holds the rest on your available limit. A hold isn't a charge and earns no interest. It gets smaller after each payment, so your statement only ever shows the payment for that month.

Questions
Good to know.
Is it really interest-free?
Yes. Float charges no interest and no fees. Each payment goes on your card like any other purchase, so pay your card statement as usual to keep it that way.
Why does Float hold the full amount?
The hold makes sure the remaining payments can go through. It isn't a charge and earns no interest. After each payment the hold resets to the balance still owed.
What if a payment doesn't go through?
Float emails you before every payment. If a payment fails and you don't update your card or free up your limit, Float takes the outstanding balance from the amount it's already holding.
Can I use Float on new products?
Float is for pre-owned and demo devices. For new products you can pay over time with MobiCred at checkout.
What if I return my device?
Our normal returns policy applies, and Float adjusts or refunds your payments once the return is finalised. Returns paid with Float carry a 5.5% fee. See return fees
Can I use Float in store?
Yes. Ask at the counter in Bryanston and we'll run it on our Float machine.
