Authorization
Splitit authorizes the full amount of the purchase on your existing credit card and holds the balance from your credit card.
In most cases the hold is only temporarily held on your card and the duration is dependent on your issuing bank. In some cases the hold may remain on your card for the duration of your payment plan. Please check with the business you are purchasing from for more details.
You will need the full purchase amount available as credit on your credit card on the day of purchase.
Installment plan
The first installment is charged a few seconds after the purchase authorization or upon shipping, depending on the merchant and your selected plan.
Splitit will charge your credit card every month until the plan is finished.
No account setup needed
Splitit works with your existing credit card, utilizing the credit you have already earned, and can be used with any merchant who has Splitit added to their checkout.
After purchasing with Splitit you will get access to your personal online portal where you can manage your plan.

Splitit helps consumers use their existing credit card to turn purchases into smaller, monthly payments.
The full amount of your purchase is authorized (held) on your credit card to guarantee future payments so you need to have at least that amount in available credit on your card.
The authorization amount reduces with each monthly payment you make until the balance is cleared and we renew these authorizations periodically. The previous authorization is removed as soon as we receive a new one.
Payments are the regular installments that are charged to your credit card. Authorizations for the full outstanding amount are taken in addition to your regular installments, to guarantee your future payments.
When you buy using Splitit, the retailer takes your first installment straight away, this may be later if your goods are being shipped at a later date. The rest of your monthly installments are automatically taken on the same date as your first one. This date cannot be changed. Monthly installments show as ‘charged’ or ‘posted’ on your account.
In addition to your monthly installment payments, the full outstanding amount is authorized (held) on your card to guarantee future payments. Authorizations are usually renewed every 17-21 days until your plan is paid off. Authorizations get smaller with each installment paid. The previous authorization is released once a new one is obtained. Authorizations show as ‘pending’ or ‘reserved’ on your account. If your plan is kept on track, these authorizations are not charged.
In most cases the hold is only temporarily held on your card and the duration is dependent on your issuing bank. In some cases the hold may remain on your card for the duration of your payment plan. Please check with the business you are purchasing from for more details.
