About Leasing
How is leasing different from traditional credit check financing?
In a traditional finance transaction, a financial institution funds another on your behalf. Once the funds have been borrowed, you make payments to the creditor, which can include finance charges like interest. In a lease purchase, you agree to lease your merchandise from Okinus. Okinus makes the purchase for the items you select, without sending funds to a retailer on your behalf. You then pay Okinus your renewal payments listed on your payment schedule, while using the merchandise. You are able to purchase the merchandise at any time to obtain ownership of the merchandise.
