“What we’re doing is democratizing financing for merchants and consumers,” said Financeit COO & GM of Canada, Casper Wong. “Financeit’s innovative platform provides consumers with fast, friendly and transparent financing so they can make purchases that improve their lives, and businesses with access to a market-leading sales enablement platform that starts with affordable payment plans for their customers. Less than 20% of Canadians have access to traditional lines of credit and if they face an unexpected issue with their home, Financeit is a great option vs. traditional “no-fee” credit cards, as our rates start at 8.99%. Plus some of our merchants have the option to offer 0% financing or deferred payment programs to their customers,” added Wong.
