Lease-to-own means that you make recurring payments for the use of the products you have selected. You have no long term obligation to continue leasing, and can return the product to Zibby at any time with no further obligation other than for amounts past due.
In addition, you have several options to acquire ownership of the product you are leasing. A Zibby lease offers flexibility that may make it more attractive than financing. With each payment, you have the option to continue leasing, buyout, or return your items.

No, Zibby offers a lease-to-own payment option. Customers are entering into an agreement to lease the product, with an option to own, by exercising the Early Purchase Option. The agreement is not a credit transaction. Lease payments do not include an interest rate or APR and these will not be used to calculate the lease amount.
Zibby considers the following four factors when calculating the lease payment.
1. The cash price of the product
2. The state in which the customer resides
3. The maximum term a customer can lease the product
4. The state/city sales tax rate
The lease agreement outlines the maximum number of times a lease can be renewed before the customer automatically obtains ownership.
No credit is required to apply for a lease with Zibby. You can apply if you have no credit, bad credit or a bankruptcy. “No credit required” does not mean nor imply that no inquiry will be made of credit history or creditworthiness. We may check past transactional history and report information about your lease to credit reporting agencies, but no established credit history is necessary.

Zibby funds the next business day for leases that were delivered.
We can only fund you once the delivery has been completed. If a delivery date is modified or an item is on backorder, you will need to notify Zibby or adjust the date on the retailer portal. This ensures proper funding occurs.
If a product that is on a lease agreement is on backorder, you will need to make sure the customer is notified of the updated delivery date. Accommodations can be made and an updated lease agreement can be drafted for the customer. You will not be funded for a lease until all products have been successfully delivered to your customer. If they would like to cancel their agreement please connect with a Zibby service team member at 1-833 HiZibby (449-4229) or help@zibby.com to find a resolution.
