What is PowerPay?

PowerPay is a digital lending platform for the home improvement industry. Our fully automated technology offers near-instant approvals on loans up to $100,000, helping homeowners translate expensive home improvement projects into low monthly fees that can be paid over time.

Unlike other digital lending platforms, PowerPay is a fully independent company that is committed to delivering loans with no extra fees or added costs in order to offer the lowest monthly payment possible to our customers. After all, the more affordable the loan, the bigger the possibilities for your home.

What contractors can I work with?

Any contractor can provide PowerPay financing.  If your contractor does not offer it, simply ask them to sign up on our dealer enrollment page.  It’s free for the contractor to sign up, takes only a few minutes to set up their account and they can process your loan in less than 48-hours. 

Does using PowerPay impact my credit score?

No.  When you apply for a PowerPay loan it will not affect your credit score.  PowerPay uses what’s known as a soft pull from credit agencies.  A soft inquiry—also called a “soft pull”—allows us to review your credit report and credit score to get a sense of how well you are managing your credit but it will not affect your score.

What equipment do you finance?

We work with all of the major equipment and material manufacturers.

Why should I use PowerPay?

Just like many people finance their car payments, over 50% of all home improvement projects are financed. Financing can be a great payment option when your dream project costs too much money to pay for all at once. Using PowerPay, you can translate that expensive lump sum into a low, affordable monthly payment. The result is the opportunity to stop worrying about what a project costs, and spend more time dreaming about the possibilities for your home.

Where applicable, there is a one-time member activation cost for each approved loan. For convenience, that cost can be rolled into the final loan balance.

How is the APR (annual percentage rate) determined?

We work with our lender network to look at the credit risk of you as a borrower, and to give you a rate that fits your credit profile. Your financing options are presented to you in clear, simple terms. You are never obligated to accept them. Unlike many platforms that offer credit cards, PowerPay strives to offer lower-risk borrowers with lower rates. The annual percentage rate is the cost of credit as a yearly rate.
