Authorized Apple reseller in Lagos iStore has announced the launch of iDeals, the first financing option to allow Nigerians to pay for iPhones over 12 months.

iStore said iDeals makes it more affordable as it provides cost effective and interest-free payment from NGN9,500 (US$58) in monthly installments.

iStore director Rutger-Jan van Spaandonk said: “We are thrilled to launch iDeals and offer a finance option for iPhone and give Nigerians the opportunity to purchase at an affordable monthly rate. iDeals are genuinely interest-free – if you divide the cash price of iPhone by 12, this is the monthly payment you will make, and there is no additional interest.”

iDeals cover the iPhone5c and iPhone 5s, and are available through a StanbicIBTC Bank salary account.

Individuals can access iDeals at the iStore, StanbicIBTC branches and online.

Van Spaandonk said: “We encourage iPhone enthusiasts to shop at iStore Ikeja Mall and take advantage of the iDeals offer, as well as the benefits of buying from an Apple Authorized Reseller. For the first time, iPhone customers will have the opportunity to take advantage of a monthly finance deal and local warranty support; while having the additional value-adds of advice from Apple experts, excellent customer service, free training, setup and tech support.”
