Becoming a Customer
How does it work?
Our Customers come to Easy Buy, to enable them to purchase things such as household goods, cars, vouchers, blinds & carpets, and pay for them at low weekly payments, through a payment plan that suits your circumstances.
What am I signing up to when I purchase a product from Easy Buy?
When you purchase a product from Easy Buy, you are signing up to a Hire Purchase Agreement for Products or a Credit Agreement for Vouchers. This allows you to receive the product(s) almost immediately, while paying for them in affordable weekly payments over the agreement term.
