Save on interest with flexible payment plans

Discover flexible credit card payment options with lower interest rates

A man in his backyard builds a wooden deck in the sunshine.
Your summer projects, your payment terms.

Backyard season is finally here. Sunny days, BBQs with friends, long summer nights—your backyard is the place to be. But is your deck looking a little worse for wear? Or maybe your patio furniture has seen better days. Projects can add up and you don’t want to spend sunny days worrying about how you’re going to pay for them.

Personalize your payment plan.

Your credit card can help take away the sting by giving you control over how you pay for those projects. Flexible payment options, like instalment plans, allow let you to make your projects a reality while enjoying the peace of mind of staying within budget with manageable payment options.

For example, with all Laurentian Bank credit cards, eligible cardholders1 can set up smaller monthly payments on purchases of $100 or more at a lower interest rate. That’s significant savings, compared to credit cards or department store cards, interest rates which can be up to 20.99% or 28.99% respectively. Plus, it ensures you pay the purchase off in a timely manner. With 3-, 6-, 12-, or 24-month plans to choose from, you have lots of options for paying off your major purchases. That’s a win-win!

Here’s how it works:

If you reside in Quebec:

If you enrol an eligible purchase of $1,000 CAD into an instalment plan for a payment period of 3 months, your interest rate will be 5.99%.2 So, after instalment setup, you’ll repay $335.55 monthly, which includes approximately $10.00 of interest.

With 3 months of instalment payments at 5.99% and a monthly interest rate of 0.50%, the monthly principal payment is $333.33 and monthly interest equals $3.33 for a total monthly payment amount of $336.67. Total Loan cost is $1,000 loan amount, $0 setup fee and $10 interest for a total loan cost of $1,010.

If you reside in a province outside of Quebec:
