From the form of installment payment, there is a limit on the initial amount of a single transaction for cardholders to handle this business, and the level of installment repayment and the standard of handling fee are also different; It can be roughly divided into three categories:

The first category is the cooperation between banks and special merchants, but the product types are limited;

The second category is the product catalogue provided by the bank, which is purchased by the cardholder, and then the bank entrusts the supplier to deliver the goods to the customer;

The third category is not limited to merchants and commodities. Cardholders can apply for installment repayment from banks after shopping, and some banks even set the acceptance scope to the whole world.

Extended data:

Most domestic banks have credit card installment business, and installment payment is generally divided into POS installment, "mail order installment" and billing installment through the Internet and mail according to different occasions.

Shopping center installment payment

Also known as POS staging, it means that cardholders go to shopping places and shop in "shopping malls" that can be staged. When you check out, you need to pay by installment with a credit card that supports installment in this mall. Then the cashier will swipe the card on the special POS machine according to the number of periods required by the cardholder (such as 3 periods, 6 periods, 12 periods, etc.). There are also a few shopping malls that support the 24 th issue).

Note: When staging in the mall, you need to verify the identity of the cardholder and remember to bring your ID card.

Shopping malls are generally free in three stages. The rates for Stage 6 and Stage 12 vary from bank to bank. As long as the goods are sold normally in shopping malls, they can generally be paid by installments. In many cases, cardholders can also bundle multiple items together to settle accounts, and then pay in installments.

Mail order installment payment

It means that the cardholder receives the installment mail order catalog manual sent by the issuing bank (or the online installment mall of the bank) and chooses from the limited commodities. Then the bank orders in installments through online installment mall, telephone or fax installment application form, etc.

Generally, there is no handling fee for mail order installment regardless of the number of installments. However, due to the long ordering cycle (in many cases, it takes more than 15 working days to get the goods), and the return is relatively complicated. It is recommended to compare before buying.

Bill installment payment

This is the most convenient staging method, which can be basically supported by all issuers, and the application is simple. Users only need to apply to the issuing bank for installment by phone after spending their credit cards and before sending monthly bills.

However, it should be noted that banks will stipulate some special circumstances, such as speculative credit cards can not be successful in installments. So before the trial run, be sure to read the trial run manual carefully.

The disadvantage of bill installment is that it can't exempt the handling fee. The longer the number of installments, the higher the handling fee, and the cardholder must bear it himself.
