“When it comes to replacing or buying new tires, when there is a need, it’s typically immediate,” said Orlando Zayas, CEO of Katapult. “Unfortunately, this isn’t an expense that most consumers plan for, which is why I’m particularly excited for this partnership with SimpleTire. Lease-to-own offers consumers the additional flexibility they may need to purchase the tires that will get them to work or wherever they need to go, while still keeping their monthly expenses in check. In the face of current macroeconomic challenges such as high gas prices and rising inflation, this option enables consumers to stretch their dollars even further while still purchasing the items they need.” Other merchants that offer Katapult lease-purchase payment options include Wayfair, Lenovo and Purple Mattress.
