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.

The estimated monthly payment shown on any phone purchase may be rounded up to the next whole dollar or may be shown rounded to the whole cent but, in either event, only applies with the use of a Google Store Financing credit card account. See your billing statement for your actual equal monthly payment required, which will be rounded to the whole cent. If you make your payments by the due date each month, the monthly payment (adjusted for taxes, delivery and any other items purchased in the same sales transaction) should allow you to pay off the phone purchase within the number of months advertised if this balance is the only balance on your account during that time period. If you have other balances on your account, this monthly payment will be added to the monthly payment applicable to those balances.
