The Lease-to-Own Solution
Acima Leasing presents a transformative opportunity for retailers to diversify their shopping offerings beyond financing methods. Once approved, a consumer can utilize their approval amount to shop with retailers in the Acima Leasing network. What distinguishes lease-to-own from financing is our flexible payment options available with a consumer’s lease. This enables you as retailers to extend a shopping option with shopping power to consumers previously out of reach.
The Lease-to-Own Consumer
Lease-to-own (LTO) consumers include a varied audience seeking new shopping avenues, allowing them to shop without using credit.* These consumers typically have sought out retailers they like but may have previously faced rejection due to financing roadblocks. Almost half of consumers in the U.S. can be categorized as non-prime, and over 25% of those consumers have no credit profile at all. (1) Many consumers shift into the non-prime category after various unplanned life events like:
An unexpected job layoff
A divorce
A medical crisis
Life events such as job transitions, marital changes, or health challenges necessitate adaptable shopping approaches. Lease-to-own offers an encompassing solution for consumers across diverse circumstances and life phases to be able to still be able to shop for what they need.
