How do I apply?

Simply bring your pre-approval details and ID with you when you shop at Scooter-World. Pre-approval is available for up to $5,000 and lasts for 60 days, so make sure you shop before the expiry date or you’ll need to re-apply.
Can I make multiple purchases?
Your available credit increases as you make repayments, so you can shop again before you fully pay for your initial purchase. An additional purchase fee of $22.00 is payable over the purchase repayment period for additional purchases. Your online account enables you to keep track of your available credit.
Can I pay my continuing credit account out early?
You can pay the outstanding balance of your continuing credit account (inclusive of any fees and charges) on any day you wish. If you keep your account open, your available credit will be available for up to 24 months. You can shop again at any time while your account remains open and the monthly account keeping fee will continue to apply.
Can I close my account and are there any charges?

If I pay a deposit, am I guaranteed an approval?
Paying a deposit directly to the merchant won’t always guarantee a Certegy Ezi-Pay payment plan being approved. However Certegy will work with your chosen merchant to process your application fairly and approve wherever possible. Details of your payment plan will be confirmed to you in writing once the required signed paperwork is received, verified and accepted by us.
