Financing

What is Dell Preferred Account (DPA) financing?
Dell Preferred Account is a revolving line of credit which allows you to pay for your purchase all at once or gives you the flexibility to make monthly payments. This account is offered by WebBank and serviced by Dell Financial Services. With this account there is no prepayment penalty. You may also qualify for promotions and discounts on future purchases.

What is Zero % liability on unauthorized charges?
As a Dell Preferred Account holder, you will not be held responsible for unauthorized purchase(s) on your Dell Preferred Account under the following conditions: You report the unauthorized purchase(s) within 90 days of the transaction appearing on your statement; and you cooperate with Dell Financial Services in the investigation of the fraudulent charges on your account. If you suspect unauthorized activity on your account, contact the Dell Financial Services Customer Service Team, toll-free, at 1- 800-283-2210 . Customer Service agents are available M-F, 7AM to 8PM (CT).

Is a minimum payment required?
Yes, minimum monthly payments are required. Minimum monthly payments are $20 or 3% of your New Balance shown on your billing statement, whichever is greater. If your purchase qualified for a financing promotion, the required minimum monthly payments may not pay off your purchase in full by the end of the promotional period due to purchase amount, promotion length, additional purchases or allocation of payments in excess of the minimum payment.

How does the Dell Preferred Account promotion work?
Interest will be charged to your account from the transaction posting date if the promotional balance is not paid in full by the end of the promotional period, or if you make a late payment. Minimum monthly payments are required but may not pay your promotional balance by the end of the promotional period due to purchase amount, promotion length, additional purchases or allocation of payments in excess of the minimum payment (see minimum payment question for additional information). If not paid by the end of the promotional period, account balance and new purchases will be subject to your Standard APR rate as found on your DPA Credit Agreement. Offers subject to credit approval and may be changed without notice. Minimum purchase amount may be required.

How are my payments applied to my promotional purchase?
During the last two months of any promotional offer consisting of a No Interest if paid in full Credit Plan, amounts paid over the Minimum Payment Due will be applied to the remaining balance of the No Interest if paid in full Credit Plan about to expire.

Why didn't I receive the lowest annual percentage rate available or other special program features?
Approval is based on creditworthiness, as determined by WebBank. Customers not eligible for the lowest available rate or a promotional financing feature may still be offered financing. Increasing the amount paid each month can reduce the total finance charges on your account.
