TORONTO — Saying it’s the first national carrier to offer wireless accessory financing, Rogers announced today customers will now be able to get headphones, smartwatches, cases and such for $0 down, 0% interest and no taxes paid upfront.
Accessories available with Rogers’ new financing option include AirPods and AirPods Pro, Beats, Google Nest products, phone cases, screen protectors, chargers, smartwatches and smart bulbs. (Telus is offering customers the option to finance its new Track+ tracker device, which it launched Wednesday.)
“By extending our financing option to accessories, we’re offering an affordable one-stop destination for our customers to finance the smartwatches, phone cases, headphones and smart speakers they want for the entire family,” said Brent Johnston, Rogers’ president of wireless, in the news release.
In summer 2019, Rogers was the first national carrier to introduce device financing options with $0 down and no interest to give customers more choice and affordability.
With financing, data plans are shown separately from the device or accessory monthly payment on the bill, and at the end of the financing term, the monthly payment for the financed product automatically drops off, making it easier for customers to understand their bill, says Rogers. Customers have the flexibility to pay their balance off in equal monthly payments over 24 months with the option to make lump sum payments on their balance at any time before the end of their financing term.
Customers can choose to finance a standalone item such as premium headphones or smart speakers or bundle multiple accessories such as phone cases, screen protectors and chargers. Starting today, Rogers postpaid wireless customers can finance accessories by visiting a Rogers retail store. Following Covid-19 closures, Rogers has reopened most of its retail locations across the country with appropriate health and safety measures in place.
