How Furniture Financing Works
Furniture financing lets you spread your payments over time in equal installments. In Ontario, available options depend on your financial profile and the retailer’s offerings.
Here are the most popular types of furniture financing options:
Installment Furniture Loans
Installment loans are personal loans where you borrow a set amount upfront and repay it in fixed monthly payments over 12–36 months (or more). These typically include interest, but offer predictable payments and longer terms.
In Store Payment Plans
Many furniture retailers, including My Furniture, offer in store financing at checkout. These plans are:
- Often interest free for promotional periods
- Simple to apply for right in the store
-
Customizable with monthly payments
This is one of the easiest ways to finance furniture without lengthy loan applications.
Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) Services
Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) platforms like Flexiti offer:
- Instant credit approvals
- Payment terms from 6 to 60 months
- Interest free or low interest options
-
Approval based on soft credit checks
A great way to break your purchase into smaller, affordable installments.
No Credit Check Financing Options
Providers like Snap Finance and Easy home cater to those with bad credit or no credit history. These lenders typically:
- Approve based on income, not credit score
- Offer pay over time loans from $250–$15,000
- Come with higher interest rates due to lending risk
