Fido financing program now includes phone accessories


TORONTO — Rogers Communications flanker brand Fido announced today it is expanding its Fido Payment Program to include accessories, allowing its mobile customers to get headphones and phone cases for $0 down and 0% interest and pay them off over a 24-month term.

The new financing options now include AirPods, Beats, cases, screen protectors, chargers and more. Customers can choose to finance a single item or multiple items starting today by visiting a Fido retail store.

Fido launched its Fido Payment Program in February 2020 and was the first flanker brand wireless carrier to offer this financing option.

With the expanded payment program, the monthly payment of accessories will be shown separately on the Fido customer’s bill. At the end of the financing term, the monthly payment will automatically drop off. Customers can pay their balance off in monthly payments over 24 months, with the option to make lump sum payments on their balance any time before the end of their financing term.

“We’re always looking for ways to offer more affordable options to our customers and deliver great value,” said Nancy Audette, vice-president and general manager of Fido, in a press release. “By expanding the Fido Payment Program to include our huge array of accessories, we’re providing a way for customers to get the latest and greatest accessories they want, without the upfront cost.”
