How does Layby Work

Why Layby? 

Not all of us have the means to pay upfront for products we need in our everyday life. With Layby, you can buy your dream product without breaking the bank, and avoid the interest, fees and charges you might face using finance companies or credit cards.


How Does Layby Work?

A Layby Purchase is when you pay for your purchase in instalments, and once full price has been paid, or the required number of instalments specified in the purchase agreement, you receive your items.
