After abrupt interruption in April, Apple restores Barclays, PayPal Credit financing for U.K. customers

Back in April, Apple abruptly removed financing options from its U.K. website. The move came without explanation from the company, but now the financing options are back in nearly identical form.

As of now, U.K.-based shopper can once again finance their Apple purchases with either Barclays or PayPal Credit. Barclays is available for purchase over £399, with 12 months of payments. PayPal Credit, however, is available with minimum purchases of £99 and can be spread over 24 months of payments.

The one major change is that PayPal Credit has been removed from Apple’s dedicated financing webpage. This page had previously touted both Barclays and PayPal financing, but the latter has been removed from the page completely with Apple touting you can “Spread the cost with Barclays 0 percent finance.”


Shoppers can sign up for PayPal credit by looking under the “Installments” section under “Payments & Billing” during the checkout process.

It’s currently unknown as to why Apple removed the financing options in the first place, only to bring them back less than a month later. It’s been expressed that perhaps wanted to put a bit heavier focus on the 0 percent Barclays financing, as opposed to the 14.9 percent PayPal Credit.

Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
