Bentley Motors has been associated with motor racing from their very establishment in 1919. W.O. Bentley’s fast and dependable cars in the 1920s attracted the attention of a group of wealthy young men and women known as the Bentley Boys and Girls. They raced Bentleys at the gruelling 24 Hours of Le Mans and encouraged W.O., a racer himself, to push the limits of automotive engineering, resulting in an incredible five Le Mans victories in seven years, firmly establishing the marque’s place in history. The 1929 24 Hours of Le Mans was the most dominant display by a single manufacturer in the short history of the race as Bentley took the top four places which was a feat that would not be matched until 1957 by Jaguar. Bentley would go on to break Audi’s dominance in 2003 and win a sixth Le Mans title, 73 years to the day of their last victory.
Bentley have produced a number of iconic cars over the years, including the Speed Six of the late 1920s, the 8 litre of the 1930s, the T-Series of the 60s and 70s and the Continental, which has been seen in many iterations since the 1950s. Bentley continues to push the boundaries of automotive excellence with the world’s first luxury SUV, the Bentayga, and they now are on their own journey towards a range of all-electric vehicles, including the world’s first luxury production SUV, the Bentayga Hybrid.
A PAYMENT AUTHORISATION FOR THE OUTSTANDING AMOUNT OF YOUR PURCHASE WILL BE HELD DURING THE FULL PLAN PERIOD as security. This hold will be charged ONLY in the event a monthly payment is declined (the authorisation hold might appear as "Pending" on your credit card bill).
You must maintain a sufficient "Required Available Credit" amount on your credit card for both the full outstanding amount of your purchase and the monthly payment during the full period of the plan.
Your credit card issuer may charge you interest on amounts charged to your credit card unless you pay Your credit card balance in full each month.
In case we do not manage to reauthorize the remaining amount of the transaction, you will receive a notice email. In that case, you will have to promptly update your credit card details. In case your bank still refuses to reauthorize the outstanding amount, we will have to charge the full outstanding amount of the transaction at once from your credit card.
Splitit offers you a flexible way of paying for items in instalments, completely interest-free, by reserving the available line of credit on your credit card. Then, each month, according to your payment plan, Splitit collects the instalment amount and reissues the authorisation request for the remaining balance.
It is important to note that payments are still charged on your existing credit card. Splitit simply provides you the method to do this and information about the instalments. Here is an example of how the service works for a customer buying a £2,000 model in 4 instalments of £500 each:
Splitit obtains authorisation from the credit card company for the full purchase amount of £2,000. This is not a charge on the card; it is simply reserving £2,000 from the customer’s line of credit.
- The credit card company then charges the customer £500 for the first payment.
- During the second month, Splitit requests authorisation for the outstanding purchase amount of £1,500, and charges the customer the second installment of £500.
- This authorisation and charge process continues until the full £2,000 is collected - in this case, for 4 months.
No, this is an interest-free payment method with no additional fixed fees, service fees, interest or hidden fees of any kind.
No, your item will be processed after the first initial instalment and delivered as normal upon passing our Quality Control check at Head Office.
- You can pay using Splitit with a valid Mastercard or Visa
Nothing, no credit check is required if you use a Splitit instalment plan and there is no impact on your credit score. All the bank sees is the individual instalment charges each month. If one of your payment authorisations is declined, there is still no affect on your credit rating; it is simply a declined charge. The denial would simply accelerate payment of the remaining balance (unless you provide a different card which was not denied).
You can pay using Splitit with a Mastercard or Visa. Debit cards, American Express and pre-paid cards are not accepted.
The instalments appear on your statement as individual charge items with the name of 'Amalgam Collection'. These payments will appear monthly according to your instalment plan, with the same charge amount each time.
