Bicycle Network Victoria: Benefits for Riders

Riders and retailers welcome interest free finance

Bicycle Network Victoria in partnership with a growing number of specialist bike stores welcome interest free finance for bikes and bits with GE Capital Finance as the finance provider.

Online pre-approval from GE Capital Finance, the finance provider, means you walk in to the shop ready to buy.*

It is easy to get a GEM Visa Interest Free card and Bicycle Network Victoria members are already using GE interest free finance to buy bikes and bits:

Aaron told us “When I first heard about GE interest free finance being available in bike shops I thought, finally I can get that new bike! I found applying for pre-approval at home and using a GEM Visa card at the bike shop really simple. If only I could figure out my new clip-in bike shoes as easily!”

Adam told us “Getting the GEM Visa card and accessing interest free finance means that I can hand back my loaner bikes to my mates and get a brand new bike of my own, without having to worry about stumping up the cash in one go! I can’t wait to go and pick up my new bike and bits and get riding!”

Don the manager at Bicycle Superstore Hoppers Crossing said 'We are pleased to be able to offer GE Capital Finance interest free finance to our customers. We have found that the sales process is far more user friendly for the consumer than other finance schemes currently available and that a proportion of our customers are able to use interest free to make more considered purchases than before and get the bike or bits that most suits their riding without taking a massive hit on the credit card.'

Adrian Curnow the owner of The Freedom Machine, Port Melbourne welcomes interest free finance for riders, "TFM believe that GE interest free finance will be a really good potential option for many of our customers, we know that personal finance makes sense for some riders and being able to offer that flexibility in our stores is great for the future. The GEM Visa system is easy to understand for both the retailer and the customer and the pre-accreditation option for riders means that the we can spend more time in-store talking about the suitability of products, rather than filling out forms"
