Cotton On credit

This option is only available to cardholders, and the necessary finance personnel is the one that determines credit and is based on a consumer's creditworthiness. In instances where a credit increase is applied for, the outcome will be based on certain credit checks, and the store can rightfully decrease a cardholder's credit if it is deemed fit.

Interest fees are also payable for every given credit. They increase as and when consumers fail to make consistent repayments of their credit, thus negatively affecting their credit score and chances of getting credit in the future.
