What is Split Pay?

Split Pay is GovMint.com’s® flexible payment program that lets you spread the cost of your purchase over multiple payments at no additional charge from GovMint.com!

How do I know what products are eligible for Split Pay?
When you’re shopping online, you’ll see a Split Pay screen appear on the Checkout Page. When you’re shopping with your personal sales representative, or working with our call center agents, he or she will advise you that the product you’re interested in purchasing is available for purchase through the Split Pay Program and review the information with you.
Why is my first Split Pay installment higher than the rest?
The amount of the installments on a Split Pay purchase will be calculated as follows: The product price will be divided by the number of monthly installments. Shipping and handling and applicable taxes will be added to the first installment. In some instances, the product price cannot be paid in precisely equal installments. When that occurs, the first installment payment may be adjusted appropriately, usually only by a few cents, to make sure the purchase price is paid in full.
The following example demonstrates how the amount of each installment will be calculated. A customer orders a product through the Company website, with a purchase price of $250 through a three month Split Pay installment offer. Shipping and handling is $3.95 and taxes are $17.50. The first payment would be $106.45 = ($85.00 + $3.95 + $17.50). The second and third payments would be $82.50 each. (Three payments are broken down as such – 34%, 33% & 33% with the first payment including shipping and applicable taxes)
When are my installments due?
By choosing to use Split Pay, you authorize Company to charge your Split Pay Eligible MOP for the first installment on the day the Split Pay Eligible Item ships. Any additional installment(s) will be charged every 30 days thereafter, without additional advance notice to you, until the price of the Split Pay Eligible Item is paid in full. (In those instances where the installment is due on a Saturday or Sunday, the payment will be taken the Friday before).
What methods of payment can I use to purchase Split Pay items?
The following methods of payment can be used for Split Pay purchases: Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover Card; additional methods of payment may be authorized by the Company on a case-by-case basis, in the Company’s sole discretion (each referred to as a “Split Pay Eligible MOP”). Pre-paid cards and gift cards are not accepted.

Can I use Split Pay on an existing order?

How much will credit inquiries affect my score
The impact from applying for credit will vary from person to person based on their unique credit history. In general, credit inquiries have a small impact on one’s FICO Scores. While inquiries often can play a part in assessing risk, they play a minor part. Much more important factors for your scores are how timely you pay your bills and your overall debt burden as indicated on your credit report. http://www.myfico.com/crediteducation/creditchecks/inquiries.aspx
