Are you thinking of spreading the cost of your purchase?
Finance is a great way to spread the cost of your purchase, if used responsibly. We have teamed up with Omni, one of the UK’s leading finance specialists, so that you can apply for and complete a loan application quickly and easily – the online application process only takes a couple of minutes to complete, and you will receive confirmation of whether your application has been successful, or referred for further consideration, instantly.
More about our finance options
Our monthly payment plans are designed to help make your purchase more affordable.
We offer a range of interest-free and interest-bearing finance options to help you spread the cost of your purchase:
- Products that are £300 or greater & no more than £15,000 are eligible for our 12 month 0% APR finance option.
(0% finance with a term of 12 months or less is not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority). - Products that are £500 or greater & no more than £15,000 are additionally available for a 24-month 14.9% APR or 36-month 24.9% APR option.
The minimum deposit required is 10%.
However you can choose a deposit of up to 50% of the value of the goods.
It’s important to remember that you should only enter into a finance agreement if you are sure you can afford the repayments for the full term of the loan. Whichever finance option you choose to apply for, you need to be sure that you can afford to pay the deposit, and keep up with your monthly repayments. You should think about any changes to your situation that might
occur during the term of the loan, which could affect your income or expenditure, for example – retirement, moving home, changing jobs, or any health issues.

Will a credit search be registered against me if I apply?
Omni will perform a ‘soft’ credit search on your credit file as part of their assessment, to determine whether the loan is affordable for you and if you are likely to make your repayments on time. It’s important to know that an application for credit will only result in a ‘soft’ search on your credit file until the point your application for finance is complete, at which point a ‘hard’ credit check will be recorded on your credit file. Only you can see that a ‘soft’ search has been made on your credit file, but a ‘hard’ credit check will be visible to others viewing your credit file, for example, if you apply for credit in the future, the lender
will see that an application credit search was made on your credit file.
What happens after I have submitted my application?
Your application will be assessed based on eligibility, credit history and affordability and Omni will let you know the outcome in just a few seconds.
Your application may be referred to a lender for manual assessment and you may receive a request for additional information to support your application.
What happens if my application is accepted?
Once your application is accepted you will be prompted to review and sign your credit documentation. This documentation will detail all the important information about your loan and should be read carefully.
What happens if my application is referred to an Underwriter?
You will receive a response from the Underwriter within 20 minutes of the application being referred during normal working hours. This can either be an accept, decline or a request for more information.
If more information is requested, you will receive an email detailing the information required. If you have any questions, you can contact the Underwriting Team at underwriting@ocrf.co.uk.
What happens if my application is declined?

Can I get my order delivered to a separate delivery address?
In order to safeguard against fraudulent applications, we are only able to deliver goods to your billing address that is submitted to your finance application.
