Financing Details

No interest if paid in full within 6 months*

On purchases of $149-$299 with your Google Store Financing account. Interest will be charged to your account from the purchase date if the promotional balance is not paid in full within 6 months. Minimum monthly payments required.
Example purchase price:
$229.00
Suggested equal monthly payment:
$38.17/month
Promotional period:
6 months

The Suggested Equal Monthly Payment shown with your Google Store Financing account may be greater than the required minimum monthly payment that will be on your billing statement when you use the 6 month promotional financing offer.

  • This payment equals the promotional purchase amount (which is shown as Example purchase price above) divided by 6 (excluding taxes and shipping charges).
  • This would pay off the promotional purchase amount within the applicable promotional period, but only if there are no other balances on your account at any time during the promotional period and you make your payments on time. Your total payments will equal the amount of the promotional purchase amount.

If the promotional purchase amount is not paid in full within the applicable promotional period, interest will be charged to your account from the purchase date and your total payments will be greater than the amount of the promotional purchase amount.

* The amount of a single transaction regular purchase is determined before taxes and shipping are added to the purchase and before any discounts are applied.

No interest will be assessed on the promotional purchase balance (including shipping and taxes) if you pay the promotional purchase balance in full within the applicable 6 month promotional period.

If you do not, interest will be assessed on the promotional purchase balance from the date of the purchase.

Depending on the purchase amount and payment allocation, the required minimum monthly payments may or may not pay off the purchase by the end of the promotional period. Standard account terms apply to non promotional purchases and, after this promotion ends, to your promotional purchase. For new accounts: Phone purchases (any transaction that includes a phone) APR is 0.00%. All other (regular) purchases, APR is 29.99%. Minimum interest charge is $2. Existing account holders should see their credit card account agreement for their applicable terms. Subject to credit approval.
