Been putting off getting renovations done?
With our 18 Months Interest Free Finance Option, you can enjoy your new home and stress less.
If you’re still saving up for a renovation or looking to get finance from the bank (to take advantage of the low-interest rates) – There’s no need to wait for your new renovation to start when you can take advantage of our no interest long term finance for up to 18 months! Ask our team about interest-free finance to see if you qualify. Ask about our extended finance deals as they change each month. We recommend any outstanding balances are paid off before any interest free periods end.

Take advantage of Flexible payment offers. 18 Months Interest Free offer on purchases over $20,000 or 12 Months Interest Free for sales over $10,000 or 6 Months Interest free for sales over $985
What is interest free?

Interest free lets you renovate your home and pay for it over time. Minimum monthly payments of 3% of your adjusted closing balance, or $10 (whichever is greater), are required, and the full balance if it is under $10. If a payment holiday applies to your purchase, no payments are required during that period; your Q sales voucher will confirm.
Who can use it?

If you already have a Q Mastercard, you may be eligible for 18 Months Interest-Free on full priced renovation projects, $20,000 or over, subject to credit approval and your available credit limit. Applications are assessed online up to $50,000. If your project needs more than that, talk to our team and we will arrange a manual review with Q. You’ll need to let the team know at time of booking so we know you want this service when you book your on-site consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions About Our Interest-Free Finance Offer
What fees will I get charged when I apply for Q?
If your application is approved, an annual account fee of $50 applies. An establishment fee of $55 is charged when you open your account in-store and use long-term finance (such as our 18 Months Interest-Free Offer), or a $35 Advance fee applies for Existing Cardholders.
If I need help completing the form online, who can I call?
Please call the Q Mastercard Customer Support team on 0800 119 100
What is the difference between Q Card and Q Mastercard?
You can't actually apply for a Q Card anymore. The fabulous team at Q have combined all the best bits of Q Card and Mastercard to create Q Mastercard. When you have an approved Q Mastercard, you'll get access to the long-term finance.
What if I am applying for less than $15,000?
Applications up to $15,000 are usually assessed automatically from your credit file, so you will normally hear back quickly. Timeframes vary depending on your application.
What if I am applying for more than $15,000?
The Q Mastercard team will contact you directly to complete your application. No extra documents are needed unless their lending team asks for them, and you can reply to their message with anything they need.

Here's a snapshot of what it would look like if you renovated with us (with a Project Value of $18,500) on a 6 & 18 month term interest-free finance
6 Months

$35 for Existing Cardholders -
Total Paid: $18,630
Please note: Minimum monthly payments of 3% of your adjusted closing balance, or $10 (whichever is greater), are required, and the full balance if it is under $10. If a payment holiday applies to your purchase, no payments are required during that period; your Q sales voucher will confirm. Paying only the minimum monthly payments will not fully repay the loan before the end of the interest free period. The annual account fee is not part of the interest free offer: it has an interest free period of up to 55 days from each charge and forms part of your minimum payment, so standard interest applies to it if it is not paid within that time.
The figures above are an example only, calculated from the fees shown above. Rates, fees, terms and conditions are subject to change at any time by Q. Please refer to Terms and Fees on Q’s website for up to date information.
