    Do you have to make an initial payment every time you make a new purchase with open pay?

      Hi Michelle,

      Thank you for leaving a question and for reaching finder –
      Yes, according to the terms and conditions the time you make a purchase which is, or is to be, financed under this credit contract, you must pay us an initial payment (“first installment”) inclusive of any Establishment Fee and a Plan Management Fee for the installment.

      Hope this helps. Would you have further questions please do not hesitate to contact us again.

      Cheers!
      Val

    When I buy something on Openpay do I need a deposit and how much do I need?

      Hi Wayne,

      Thank you for getting in touch with finder.

      You don’t have to deposit any amount. However, at the point of purchase, you must pay an initial payment which includes an establishment fee and a plan management fee using your debit or credit card. You need to choose Openpay as the payment option. Your repayments with Openpay are automatically deducted as scheduled from your linked Visa or Mastercard or you can also make a payment early through the Openpay app.

      I hope this helps.

      Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any other enquiries.

      Thank you and have a wonderful day!

      Cheers,
      Jeni

      Hello Kaveeta,

      Thank you for your comment.

      Upon checking, there are no flight booking sites with Openpay. Alternatively, you can check our Afterpay flights and zipPay or zipMoney travel guide to know which sites offer Afterpay and zipPay or zipMoney flights.

    Hi,
    I’m looking to use open pay for a $3000 vet surgery. What will the payment plan roughly look like? And will I have to apply for a higher limit?
    Thanks

      Hi Lanie,

      Thanks for your inquiry and for visiting finder.

      We’re unable to give information on a payment plan for vet surgery from Openpay. To do this, go to the contact page on their website and reach out to them via email. In the email, also include how you can ask for a higher limit.

      Hope this helps! For any other inquiries, feel free to send us a message anytime.

      Kind regards,
      Nikki
