Eligible consumers can pay in simple biweekly
or monthly payments, with no hidden or late fees
Affirm (NASDAQ: AFRM), the payment network that empowers
consumers and helps merchants drive growth, today announced a
partnership with RONA inc., one of Canada’s leading home
improvement retailers operating and servicing some 425 corporate
and affiliated stores. Now, eligible shoppers can use Affirm to
purchase their home improvement necessities online.
By selecting Affirm at checkout on rona.ca, approved RONA
customers can split eligible purchases into biweekly or monthly
payments for terms up to 12 months. Consumers are shown the total
cost of their purchase and will never pay more than they agree to
upfront as Affirm does not charge any late or hidden fees.
“Canadians have trusted RONA for their home improvement needs
since 1939 and, throughout the years, their shopping habits have
evolved. Many Canadians now prefer to use online solutions for
making their purchases and we wanted to offer them the same payment
flexibility we offer customers who shop our stores through other
flexible payment solutions, which is exactly what Affirm allows us
to do,” said Adam Powell, Chief Digital Officer of RONA inc. “We’re
thrilled to offer greater choice at checkout to help our customers
bring their projects to life.”
“Tackling home projects can be daunting, but using Affirm can
give eligible RONA consumers the clarity and control they need to
focus on completing the job at hand without the stress or hassle of
hidden fees or junk charges,” said Wayne Pommen, Chief Revenue
Officer at Affirm. “We’re proud to work with one of the most iconic
retailers in Canada to offer a flexible and transparent way to pay
for those important home improvement supplies.”
RONA joins Affirm’s network of 292,000 retailers, including
partnerships in Canada with Amazon, Apple, Samsung, Hudson’s Bay,
Browns Shoes, CheapOair and more.
