Find out how the V12 app can connect more customers to your business

In today's competitive retail environment, customers are ready to shop but economic pressures are changing their behaviour. Point of sale finance options are steadily growing in popularity as more customers look to spread the costs. 

At V12 Retail Finance, we've always worked hard to make things easy for you, offering finance solutions backed by trusted systems and years of reputable service.

Our V12 app delivers on this promise by creating an always on omnichannel presence, guiding customers to your business and equipping them with the finance information they need to convert.

Helping customers find you quickly

When customers open the V12 app, they don't just get a way to service their finance agreements.

They get a way to discover where they can shop, which retailers and businesses offer their preferred finance options and who's nearby.

When you partner with V12, your business profile in our Retailer Directory includes:

•    Your opening hours
•    A verified, secure link to your website
•    The types of V12 Finance you offer

This gives customers the confidence and information they need before they even land on your website or walk through your doors.

Discovering your business is effortless with our interactive map

The V12 app interactive map is designed for speed and convenience. Customers can easily search by:

Retailer name
Retail sector
Distance from their location (up to 50 miles)
Online only retailers

Whether you run a single shop, a nationwide chain or a digital only business, the map ensures you're accessible to over 500,000 registered customers looking for retailers that offer flexible finance. 

Turning browsers into buyers

The V12 app isn't another marketing channel you need to manage. It's an always‑on way to reach customers who are often ready to buy. It also promotes your business, highlights your finance options, and can drive more footfall and website visits.

Higher footfall and more visits to your website = app users into purchasers. The V12 app helps customers move from interest to action with clear and transparent information.

By showcasing your finance options upfront, the app reassures customers that you offer their preferred payment method. 

Our data shows 89% of our customers specifically want a way to find retailers who offered finance*
