Zip Money is a "book now pay later" service that is owned by Zip Co.
It lets you pay for large purchases of $1,000+ in instalments over time and is available wherever you see the symbol displayed.
How does Zip Money work?
You can sign up for Zip Money at the checkout and, if approved, will be able to make purchases instantly.
The service gives you online credit to make purchases. You can pay this back, interest-free, in 3, 6 or 12 monthly payments.
Your specific payment schedule depends on what you're approved for and on what the store or site allows.
Essentially, the service acts like a loan. If you fail to complete your purchase within the interest-free period your remaining balance will accrue interest at a standard annual percentage rate.
What fees are there?
Interest: Zip Money offers 0% interest for the first 3 months. Beyond that any remaining balance will incur interest.
Establishment fee: This varies from $0-99.
Monthly account keeping fee: A $7.95 monthly account keeping fee applies. If your account balance is $0, no fee applies.
There is also a minimum monthly repayment of $10. Skip this and you may also be hit with late-payment fees or your account may be locked.
For more information, consult the terms and conditions.
Zip Co also offers Zip Pay which is dedicated to smaller purchases of under $1,000. This is typically not offered by hotels as bookings tend to run above this price point.

Important information about this website
findershopping.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stands by our editorial principles
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product. You can learn more about how we make money.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
