Zo Financial is an Alaska based virtual Lease-to-Own company that is specifically designed with the consumer in mind. We help every-day Americans lease-purchase the items they need to live their best lives. Afterall, Zo is a Greek word that means, “To Live!” In a single phrase, Zo helps write the untold stories of successful Americans.

A lease-purchase program through Zo Financial is designed with the end consumer in mind. It allows you to acquire the items you need NOW without the high upfront cost. Our program allows you to make payments that line up with when you get paid. That means you can enjoy the items TODAY at a fraction of the upfront cost. Early purchase options along the way allow you to save money over the 12-month rental option! Call us at 833-719-1096 to discuss or arrange early-purchase options.

Lease-to-own is a convenient alternative to financing, where you can lease-purchase the products you want, without large upfront costs. We offer a great selection of retail shops, with flexible payment options, giving you the opportunity to purchase, and own, your desired items.

We provide a lease-purchase contract that it is not a loan, credit, or financing. This allows us to offer lease-purchase options for people with poor or no credit history. We even report payment history, which could help improve poor credit or establish credit!

Our payment plans work around your paydays, so you won’t have to worry about whether or not you’ll be able to make payments.

Our leases are automatically setup for 12-month terms that match your payday. While you can renew your lease for up to 12 months, you have the opportunity to exercise an early-purchase option at any time to save money!

We report all payment activity, positive and negative, to a credit reporting agency. Call us at 833-719-1096 to discuss or arrange early-purchase options

Zo financial doesn’t charge an application fee or processing fee. The initial payment is small and is made from your credit/debit card immediately after a lease is signed and becomes active, but it is also your first payment, and is part of the total cost of the lease. If you are not approved for a lease-purchase, there is absolutely no financial obligation.

Individuals applying are evaluated on a case-by-case basis using sophisticated software. This software will look at your credit information, income, and banking history to determine lease-purchase approval amounts. The maximum leasable value anyone can be approved for is $5,000 USD.

Zo purchases the items on your behalf. We will buy the leasable items from the retailer and then lease the items to you. If you complete all your planned renewal payments, or exercise an early-purchase option, the item is then yours!At that time ownership will transfer to you. The least expensive option to purchase expires 90 days after delivery/pick-up date. Renewal payments are still due even if you intend to exercise an early-purchase option. Call us at 833-719-1096 to discuss or arrange early-purchase options.

Lease renewal payments are automatically withdrawn from your bank account but can be taken from the credit/debit card used to apply. Note that these charges will appear on your statement from Zo Financial and not the retail store where the leased items were purchased.

The full terms will be in the lease agreement, which will be emailed to you and remain available through your online account login for the term of your lease. Provided copies may be without your signature, as we retain those for our records, and your privacy.

Zo Financial leases are in no way credit. The main differences are that payments are made as a rental cost, and who owns the merchandise. With a lease, we purchase the items on your behalf and own them until you make all planned renewal payments or exercise an early purchase option. Call us at 833-719-1096 to discuss or arrange early-purchase options.

Applying for a Zo Financial lease should not impact your credit score, even though we do look at credit bureau reports. It is known as a “soft” inquiry. In addition, a lease with Zo may even help you improve your credit.

This means you don’t necessarily need to have a credit history or a credit score to qualify for a lease. Zo Financial does check credit reports; however, our proprietary technology looks beyond your credit reports and uses many factors to make a final decision. We regularly approve customers with poor credit and very little credit history.

Zo Financial will only make soft inquiries to the main Credit Bureaus. Other secondary bureaus do not offer this option and inquiries, to those bureaus, may be considered hard inquiries.

Anytime an inquiry for credit information (credit report) is requested, the credit bureaus will maintain a record of all the inquiries. Some creditors see inquiries as a negative factor. A soft inquiry is only visible to the consumer if they request a copy of their credit report. Hard inquiries are visible to the consumer and the credit reporting agencies. Because of this, a soft inquiry such as the one Zo Financial uses should not be seen by credit bureaus and should not impact credit scores.

While Zo Financial looks at many data points beyond just a credit score, a score and report is obtained on all applicants.

We look at many different data points in our decisioning process. This may include credit information, income, and banking history.

Our proprietary software allows us to look beyond just a credit score. We regularly approve people with poor or no credit.

Note: Although this is the case, not all applicants are approved.

After making your initial payment, and taking custody of the leased item(s), you will begin making lease payments on the your following payday.

Note: If your next payday is less than 7 days after you receive the merchandise and sign your lease agreement, we will wait until the following payday.

An Open-To-Buy is the amount of lease limit you have remaining after executing your initial lease.

It is important to know that your Open-To-Buy Lease Limit is ONLY available to you during the time period that your initial approval is effective (90 days from approval date). Also, the maximum number of active leases at any given time for an associated SSN/ITIN and bank account is 3.

For example: If you were approved for $2,000 of lease limit and your first lease-purchase was in the amount of $500, you could add up to 2 more leases totaling $1,500 or less.

Your lease agreement is renewed after each successful payment. At this time Zo only offers lease renewal for 12 months, but with early-purchase options to help you save money! Call us at 833-719-1096 to discuss or arrange early-purchase options.

Absolutely. The merchandise can be purchased at any time using the early-purchase options. If paid off in 90 days, the only cost will be the initial payment plus the cash price of the merchandise (including tax). After 90 days, the early-purchase option may be exercised with which you have the opportunity to pay 70% of the remaining purchase cost*.

*Purchase Cost = cash price (including tax) + initial payment + lease cost – any recurring payments previously made. Call us at 833-719-1096 to discuss or arrange early-purchase options.

Even if you plan on exercising the early-purchase option, regular renewal payments will still be automatically drafted from the bank account on file. Failure to make renewal payments will result in the cancelation of your lease agreement.

Zo Financial truly cares and understands that difficulties arise when we least expect it! In the event that life happens, preventing you from making your lease payments, please feel free to contact a Customer Care Coordinator to discuss the options available to you. We’re here to help and want to see YOU be successful!

Our Zo+ program protects against MANY of the curveballs that life may throw at you! Be sure to ask your Customer Care Coordinator about the benefits you may be missing out on!

If you no longer wish to continue in your lease, you can cancel at any time, without penalty.

Zo is happy to work with you and give you a pat on the back for the new job/career! Simply contact us 3 business days before your next scheduled renewal payment and we can discuss the options available to you.

The total cost of ownership in a lease-purchase from Zo Financial includes the cash price of the merchandise, the cost of the lease, any applicable sales tax, and the initial payment.

Your lease renewal payments will be the cost of ownership divided by the number of renewals that exist in a twelve-month period, based on your desired payment frequency. If you have any questions about costs or payments, please contact us at 833-719-1096.

No, the details of your payments made, future payments, and other pertinent account information is provided using your secured online login on zofinancial.com, as well as through our smart phone app.

In most cases, yes! Remember that this is a lease-purchase and you do not own the merchandise until all scheduled renewal payments, or early purchase options, have been made satisfied. Items may be returned at any time during the lease with no cancelation penalty. However, lease payments will continue to be processed while you maintain custody of the items. This is yet another great reason to have Zo+ attached to your lease to put your mind at ease!

Zo Financial fully honors our retailers’ warranty and return programs! We recommend that you always start by calling the retailer where the lease-purchase was made. We are dedicated to both our consumers and retailers in every regard and will do everything in our power to ensure a positive experience.
