What is PayPal Credit?

PayPal Credit is like a credit card, without the plastic. It’s a credit limit that’s attached to your PayPal account which you can use for your online purchases. If you have PayPal Credit it will be available as a funding source within your PayPal wallet and can be used for purchases in most places where PayPal is accepted. You can make purchases in the same way as you would with a normal credit card, by choosing PayPal Credit as your funding source at checkout. For purchases less than £99.00, interest is charged at our standard rate of 23.9% p.a. (variable) if the full amount is not paid off by the date shown on your statement. In addition, PayPal Credit lets you access two types of promotional offers: 0% for 4 months on all purchases of £99.00 and over; and instalment offers with selected merchants.


Is PayPal Credit available to everyone?

No, PayPal Credit is only available to customers over 18 living in the United Kingdom (excluding Channel Islands and the Isle of Man). PayPal also have to assess a customer’s creditworthiness, so you should have a good credit history to apply.

If a payment is not processed on or before the due date, late fees will apply (“Late Fees”). An initial £6 late fee will be payable for the costs Clearpay incur as a result of your late payment, and a further £6 if a payment remains unpaid 7 days after the due date.

For each order of £24 or above, the total of the late fees that may be applied are capped at 25% of the Original Order Value or £36, whichever is less.

Will You Credit Score Me And If So, What Does This Mean?

Credit scoring is the process used by financial services companies to evaluate the credit risk of new applicants. This technique will be applied to your application for online finance. Credit scoring works by awarding points for each answer given on the application form such as age, income and occupation, together with information obtained from credit reference agencies. This information allows us to produce consistent decisions, ensuring all our applicants are treated fairly. Credit scoring does not discriminate on the grounds of sex, race, religion or disability.

If You Decline My Application, What Is The Reason?

In addition to credit scoring, we also take into account confirmation of your identity, validation of certain application details, existing commitments and information held at the credit reference agencies. Though we are unable to provide you with a main reason for decline of your application, it is usually based on one, or a combination of the following:

  • Your credit score (note that every finance company will score you differently)
  • Adverse credit reference agency information
  • You are considered to be overcommitted
  • You are aged under 18
  • Your existing account performance with other lenders

What Type Of Information Do Credit Reference Agencies Hold About Me?

Some of the information is public information, for example electoral roll, County Court Judgements and bankruptcies. Other lenders may also file information about accounts you hold with them for instance this could include your payment history and outstanding balance on these accounts. Any requests for credit, where a credit reference search has been undertaken, will also be filed, although the result of the request is not recorded.

How Do I Obtain A Copy Of This Information?

Send a request to the relevant credit reference agency, together with details of all addresses at which you have lived over the last 6 years:

Experian Limited, Customer Support Centre, PO Box 9000, Nottingham, NG80 7WF

Equifax Ltd., Customer Service Centre, PO Box 10036, Leicester, LE3 4FS

· TransUnion International UK Limited, Consumer Services, PO Box 491, Leeds, LS3 1WZ The above listed agencies will provide details of information relating to these addresses. If you believe that the information is incorrect, you can ask the agency to correct it.

If My Application Is Not Successful, Can I Re-Apply?

Yes. We acknowledge that your circumstances change and just because we have refused a previous application, it does not mean that we'll automatically turn down a further request. We do suggest however, that you leave at least 6 months between applications.
