About EE Finance

EE Finance is available to you during checkout when buying selected purchases. You’ll be able to choose the amount you want to pay upfront (from 10% to 50% of the purchase price) and the length of the loan for the remainder (12, 24, 36, or 48 months). As part of your loan application, Glow will conduct an affordability assessment (including a credit check).

Glow is your lender, and we are the credit broker. No money will be credited to your personal bank account. Instead, Glow pays us for what you buy. To find out more about EE Finance, visit ee-finance.co.uk, where you can log into to find information on details of your loan, payment dates, and making extra payments.

EE Finance is only available when you buy selected EE products online. You must have been a UK resident for the past three years and be more than 18 years old. You have a personal UK bank or building society account that allows a Direct Debit to be set up. You’ll need to provide a valid photo identification such as a passport, full or provisional driving licence, or an EU identity card as part of the process. You’ll also be asked for your address history for the last three years, information about your financial dependants, annual income and, if you’re employed, your employer’s name, to undertake a credit and affordability check.

Using the information you’ve given in your application, Glow will assess your ability to make the monthly repayments on your loan, taking your credit history into account. Before you commit to the loan, the APR rate will be displayed. Once you’ve accepted the loan, Glow will perform a credit check, which will show on your credit report held by the Credit Reference Agency.

Your first Direct Debit repayment will be taken a month after the date you receive your goods. If you’ve bought multiple items, this will be one month after the date you receive all your items. You’ll receive all these details in your welcome email from EE Finance and they’re always available from the EE Finance Customer Portal.  Once your first payment has been taken, you can choose to change the date of your Direct Debit. If you choose to change the date of your Direct Debit, there is no impact to your monthly repayment or the term of your loan.

You can make an extra payment towards your loan at any time – just call on 0330 027 1150*, 9am to 6pm, Monday to Saturday. You won’t be charged any early settlement fees if you wish to repay your loan in full or make any overpayments. You can also make overpayments, catch-up repayments, or settle your loan in full online through the EE Finance Customer Portal.

You won’t be able to increase your existing loan. If you want to buy another item and select EE Finance as a payment method, you may be eligible for another loan agreement. Please note that the interest rate offered on any new loan could be lower or higher than your existing loan. The loan amount and the rate will depend on your personal circumstances and a new credit assessment.

The EE Finance Customer Portal or website is where you can find all your loan documents, your loan balance, what payments are due and when, and where you can make additional or catch-up repayments, or settle your loan early.

You’ll receive a welcome email once your loan has been processed, containing your loan agreement and details of when your loan will start. The welcome email also provides you with information on how to register and manage your online account on the EE Finance website.

Getting turned down for a loan can be disheartening, especially if you don’t know why you were rejected. Your loan application may be rejected because you don’t meet Glow’s lending criteria, or because Glow don’t think you can afford the loan and its repayments, or because your credit history doesn’t meet Glow’s credit criteria.
