Spread the cost of your next purchase

At Hargroves Cycles purchasing with finance couldn't be easier, enabling you to spread the cost of your new bike or cycling equipment from 6 to 48 months. We offer finance options on all bikes over £300.00 and depending on the items you've selected, you could be presented with either interest free 0% finance or our Classic Credit option.

*Please Note - 0% finance plans will generally not be available on discounted items. Please check on an items product page or in the checkout for available finance options.

Monthly Budget Calculator

Not sure what bikes are in your budget? Use this simple calculator to give you a guide to what bike you could afford based on the monthly cost. The higher the deposit that you pay up front the lower your monthly repayments will be.

Klarna

Orders between £40 to £1000 can be placed using Klarna. You can either choose to pay in three equal instalments or defer the payment for 30 days. Either option has no additional fees attached and you will only pay the listed price for your items. To find out more about Klarna visit our page explaining the service in more detail.

Pay in 30 days

Make your purchase today so you can try before you buy. Only pay for what you keep. Pay up to 30 days later. No interest. No fees. No impact to your credit score. Paying after delivery allows you to try before you buy and is the easiest way to shop online.

Pay in 3 interest-free instalments

Spread the cost of your purchase into 3 interest-free instalments. The first payment is made at point of purchase, with remaining instalments scheduled automatically every 30 days. No interest or fees. Select the Klarna option and enter your debit or credit card information. To check your eligibility, Klarna will perform a soft search with a credit reference agency. This will not affect your credit score. No interest. No fees. No impact to your credit score.

• Do I qualify for finance?

  To apply for bike finance, you must:

  • Be over the age of 18, and be in receipt of a regular income
  • You will need to pass all credit checks and criteria that need to be met to become a suitable applicant. If you have late payments, debt relief orders, CCJ’s, IVA’s or bankruptcies these are likely to negatively impact your eligibility
  • Be a permanent UK resident and able to supply a UK address history for the last 3 years
  • Be either: in full time employment (more than 16 hours a week) ; or self-employed ; or retired (and over the age of 50) ; or in receipt of invalidity or disability allowance.

  Just by meeting the criteria set out above does not guarantee acceptance. Please note that students (unless employed for more than 16 hours a week) and unemployed single house persons will not be considered.

  Retired individuals, and those in receipt of a private or company pensions are welcome to apply for finance.

• How quickly will my application be approved?

  Decisions are usually made within a few minutes. Once your application has been approved, we will contact you (during working hours Monday to Friday) to arrange delivery.

• Will you search my credit score?

  Yes. To enable our finance company to review your application, your credit score will be checked to evaluate your credit risk. Credit scoring works by awarding points for each answer given on the application form, such as age, income and occupation as well as information obtained by credit reference agencies. Credit score does not discriminate on the grounds of sex, gender, religion, race, disability or colour.

• Why was I declined?

  If your application has been declined, it is normally due to one, or a combination of the following:

  • Your credit score (please note that every will score you differently)
  • Your age (for example being under 18)
  • Your existing account performance with existing lenders
  • Adverse credit reference agency information

• Can I re-apply if my finance application is unsuccessful?

  Yes. Just because one of your applications may have previously been declined, finance companies acknowledge that circumstances change, and therefore allow further applications. However, it is advised that you wait at least 6 months before trying to apply again.

• Can I request delivery to an address other than my home?

  To safeguard against fraudulent applications, delivery is only allowed to the home address of the applicant.

• Can I change my order after applying for finance?

  If you change your mind and want to change your products, we will need to cancel your initial order and create a new one with your new products; this is to ensure your chosen products are delivered correctly. If you've already received confirmation of approval for online finance via Hargroves Cycles, by the time you decide to change your order, then the decision will stand from your original application so long as the order value has not increased. If however, you then go on to make subsequent orders funded via online finance, then each will be treated as a new application and will be processed in the normal way.
