See All FAQs
How does Purchasing Power work?

Any employee who meets eligibility requirements based on tenure and salary is automatically qualified – there is no credit check. Eligible employees can register through the Purchasing Power website at any time and view our online catalog.

The employee will know the total price upfront and how much will be deducted from each paycheck over a 6- or 12-month period. Orders are processed for timely shipment, and payments are deducted from the employee’s paycheck and remitted back to Purchasing Power.

Is Purchasing Power a discount program?

No. Purchasing Power is not a discount program, and typically does not sell at a lower price than other major retailers which predominantly require upfront payment. For discount programs, purchases are made with credit or debit cards to buy products directly from such retailers.

What type of employee would benefit from using Purchasing Power?

Not designed for everyone, Purchasing Power serves those who may be under-resourced and lack access to cash and affordable credit. Purchasing Power also serves employees who prefer to shop through our curated website or desire the convenience of automated payroll deduction.

    How does Purchasing Power ensure that employees are not overspending?

    Purchasing Power implements spending safeguards to protect employees from overspending, including spending limits and product price monitoring. Spending limits for employees average approximately 7%-9% of an employee’s salary.

    Does Purchasing Power charge an annual percentage rate or interest?

    No. The total product pricing includes the product and any warranties or accessories added; minus any promotional discount such as our 20% off an employees’ first purchase.

    Does Purchasing Power work with international payroll systems? 

    At this time, we currently work with U.S. payroll systems only.
