0% APR with equal monthly payments on phone purchases: Google Store Financing is a credit card account issued and serviced solely by Synchrony Bank and can be used only for purchases at store.google.com.

If you have other balances on your account, this monthly payment will be added to the monthly payment applicable to those balances.
