With the Truworths PAY3, approved applicants receive a personal spending facility that can be reused as repayments restore available credit.
Its strongest feature is three instalments without opening a conventional credit-card account. Approval, the available amount and the real cost still depend on a personal affordability assessment.
Before applying, check where the account works, how repayments are collected and what happens if you carry a balance for several months.

- Personal credit decision. The published limit is purchase approval is determined during the pay3 process.
- Repayment choice. One upfront payment, which may be up to 50%, followed by two monthly payments.

When another option may be better
This account may be a poor fit if the instalment would compete with rent, food, transport or existing debt. Cash or planned saving can cost less when the purchase is not urgent.
Costs to check
No interest or additional fees when payments are made on time. Never rely only on an advertised monthly instalment.
PAY3 cannot currently be used for cellphones, airtime or gift cards, and up to six purchases may run at the same time.
