According to the official press release, Zinia will offer customers purchasing Apple products both in Apple stores and online the option to defer payments by splitting the total amount into installments (3, 6, 12, 18, 24 and 36 months), or by deferring the payment 30 days after the shipment or pick up.
As part of the launch of this new agreement, Apple customers financing their purchases of an iPhone with Zinia will be able to do so in 12 or 24 installments interest-free. Zinia will allow Apple customers an agile, intuitive, and secure user experience to finance an iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac or any other devices at Apple stores or the Apple Store online.
The press release continues to explain that to complete a transaction, customers only need to provide their phone number and date of birth, confirm the reception of a security code and follow a quick validation process by logging into their own online banking within the Apple Store online. All this, with the security and backing of a major financial group like Santander.
