Frequently Asked Questions

Explore common questions about how you can use Zip payment options at Redlands Gentle Dental Care. Discover how Zip makes dental payments flexible and convenient.

Zip offers flexible payment options to help manage expenses easily and conveniently. Two key options available are Zip Pay and Zip Money. Here’s a detailed discussion of the differences between the two:

Zip Pay

  • Zip Pay is an interest-free “buy now, pay later” product with a credit limit of up to $1,000.
  • You can apply in under four minutes and start shopping immediately after approval with a digital Visa card.
  • It works both online and in-store wherever Visa is accepted, offering flexibility and convenience for payments.
  • Repayments start at $10 per week, and the $9.95 monthly fee is waived if no balance remains at the end of the month.

Zip Money

  • Zip Money is a line of credit with limits ranging from $1,000 to $5,000 directly through Zip or up to $50,000 via specific retailers.
  • It includes a three-month interest-free period on all purchases, with some retailers offering up to five years of interest-free.
  • Repayments start at $10 per week, and certain credit limits may include a one-off establishment fee.
  • A $9.95 monthly fee applies but is waived if the balance is fully cleared by the end of the month.

Choosing between Zip Pay and Zip Money depends on your financial needs, whether for smaller purchases or larger expenses. Both options provide flexibility and convenience, allowing payments to align with your budget and lifestyle.

Yes, there are fees associated with using Zip for dental care. These fees vary depending on whether you use Zip Pay or Zip Money. Here’s a guide:

Zip Pay

  • Monthly Account Fee: $9.95, waived if the statement closing balance is paid in full by the due date.
  • Late Payment Fee: $5, charged if a payment is missed. Additional late fees apply if repayments are missed again later.

Zip Money

  • Monthly Account Fee: $9.95, waived if the balance is fully cleared by the end of the month.
  • Establishment Fee: A one-off fee may apply depending on the approved credit limit.

Understanding the potential fees helps you use Zip effectively while keeping payments manageable. Staying informed about these costs prevents unnecessary surprises during repayment.

You can apply for a Zip account easily and quickly. Follow these steps to get started:

  1. Visit the official Zip website or download the Zip app from the App Store or Google Play.
  2. Click on the “Sign Up” button or follow the app prompts to begin the application process.
  3. Enter your email address and create a secure password, then confirm your details to create your Zip account.
  4. Provide your personal information, including your full name, phone number, and residential address, as requested during the application.
  5. Enter your income details to verify your ability to make payments and provide any additional documentation if requested.
  6. Agree to Zip’s terms and conditions, then submit your application for review by their team.
  7. Once approved, you will receive confirmation, and your account will be ready to use for dental payments at our clinic.

Setting up a Zip account is a simple process that makes managing dental payments convenient and accessible. Having your account ready in advance allows for smooth and hassle-free use during your dental visits.

Repayments for Zip accounts are automatically scheduled and deducted directly from your linked debit or credit card. You can select weekly, fortnightly, or monthly repayment frequencies and adjust them anytime, provided you pay a minimum of $40 per month (or $80 if your credit limit exceeds $1,000). Payments are processed automatically on the due date, offering flexibility and convenience in managing your balance.
If you miss a repayment, it is your responsibility to catch up and keep your account up to date. Zip may reattempt scheduled repayments, but making an additional payment yourself is recommended to avoid late fees. For Zip Pay, a $5 late fee applies, while Zip Money charges a $15 late fee and an additional $5 dishonour fee if your bank rejects the payment.
