I have recently discovered paybright or so it is called, I'm not fully knowledgeable about what this is and while signing up for it I arrived at a page stating 'Give us a call'; apparently there is a consumer declaration on my file to reduce the risk of fraudulent transactions. Maybe a Fizz community member can inform me how Fizz is related to this company now through the many different offers I am reading on the front page.

    The payment solution offered by PayBright on fizz.ca varies based on the value of the phone you’re considering:

    • Pay in 4 for small purchases (Maximum 350$ before taxes): The amount of your purchase is equally split over 4 payments.
    • Monthly instalments for large purchases: The amount of your purchase is spread over a period that varies between 12 and 36 months depending on the phone model and your eligibility.  
    How Pay in 4 works.
    1. You’ll have four automatic pre-authorized payments charged to your Visa or Mastercard credit card: a first payment when you receive your phone, and one payment every two weeks after that.
    2. Good to know: this payment solution won’t impact your credit score.
    3.  
    How monthly instalments with PayBright work.
    1. Over how many months can I finance the purchase of my phone?
    2. The number of months over which you can finance your purchase varies between 12 and 36. The number varies based on the phone model and your eligibility. You’ll be presented with three choices and have the opportunity to select the term that suits you best. You’ll have all the details when you fill out your request with PayBright.
    3.  
    4. How do I make my monthly payments?
    5. Your monthly pre-authorized payments are configured with PayBright via your Visa or Mastercard credit card, or your checking account.
    6.  
    Who can apply to pay with PayBright, and how?
    1. PayBright payment plans are available to Canadian residents who have reached the age of majority, which is 18 or 19, depending on their province. Other requirements include:
    • Depending on the plan, a Visa/Mastercard credit card, or checking account. Prepaid cards are not accepted.
    • An SMS-capable Canadian phone number.
    • To meet the minimum purchase amount required to use PayBright as a payment option. 
    1.  
    2. After confirming your phone number, you’ll be sent a one-time SMS password to confirm your identity. You’ll then be asked a few details. If you’re approved, you will set up your repayment method with PayBright and accept the terms of your payment plan.
    3.  
    4. Good to know: only the total amount of your order can be paid using PayBright. You cannot split your purchase and pay a part upfront and a part with PayBright. 
    5.  
    6. If I choose to pay my phone with PayBright, will I have the choice between monthly instalments and Pay in 4?
    7. No. The PayBright payment solution is set in advance based on the value of each phone. Pay in 4 for small purchases, and monthly instalments for large purchases.
    8.  
    9. What’s the internal credit check about?
    10. PayBright has an internal credit check process which allows them to validate your eligibility for their financing solutions without having to submit a request to Equifax(R).
    11.  
    12. Does this mean there is no impact on my credit score?
    13. To prequalify with PayBright indeed does not impact your credit score, nor if you will be using the Pay in 4 solution. The monthly instalments, however, are recorded and do impact your credit score just like any other long term financing plan.
