Nikon vendors with SCB installment options...

[praetorean]

Hi guys,

I'm not sure if this is the right section, but would like to know if anyone knows a store where I can buy stuff via SCB on 0% installment.
I posted sometime ago about getting either an 18-200 or a 28-300... I'll be using an SCB Credit Card (don't have the mollah's ) and hoping for a 0% installment for 12/24 months.

I know Best Denki has this offer but they only have Sigma's; Harver Norman's also have this offer at (an arm and a leg ).

Would just like to know if anyone knows other stores that have this kind of payment options.

We'll be travelling to the Philippines for our town fiesta , that's why I'm wanting this lens, and if possible a flash too...

Thanks

Alot of shops have citibank or UOB 0% installment. Why not apply or change ur credit card to citi/UOB?

the 0% for SCB is actually easypay:

there's still a "5% processing fee", the actual EIR is between 10% to 18%, not worth it.

CP recently has 0% interest free installment plan for OCBC credit card. but purchase must >=500sgd.

I already have a transaction on easy pay, so the credit limit's kinda tight coz it counted the whole amount of that transaction (even when on easy pay); while on 0% installment, the billing is per installment.

Bro, 0% interest free installment plan works the same ... they'll earmark the credit limit for the whole sum when the merchant swipe your card on the machine at the point of sales and only reinstate the credit limit when you paid up monthly. The reason they have to do this (earmark upfront) is so that they are in line with MAS regulations which stipulates that you are allowed credit upto 2Xs your monthly gross (at the point of application) unless you earn above $120k per annum then it's upto the bank's discretion.

Not to dampen yr mood, if you state that easy pay (pay 1st then request them to put on installment + admin fee) taken up, I don't think you qualify for the 0% interest free installment plan up front.

Can contact SCB Call Centre to confirm

Sometimes owning something is nothing to be happy about, especially it becomes an additional burden or liability to your finances.
