If you're shopping and the total value of a transaction is above the spend limit specified on your Zip account, you have the opportunity to pay for the difference upfront, on top of your initial instalment online and with selected merchants in-store. When you log in to your Zip account on checkout, you'll be informed of the value of the increased initial payment and future instalments.
This functionality is available online with any of our merchants and is currently available in-store with the exception of Chemist Warehouse. The full value of the transaction must be processed through your Zip account.
In the example below, the account spend limit is $1,000 but the purchase value is $1,500:
- Instalment 1 – $750.00
25% of your available spend limit + $500 (the amount the spend limit is exceeded by) - Instalment 2 – $250.00
- Instalment 3 – $250.00
- Instalment 4 – $250.00
Unfortunately, we are unable to manually increase your spend limit, but this will gradually increase the more you shop using Zip.
