FAQs
How does the process work?
Customers will fill out a short online application either at your store or from their mobile device. Once your customer is approved and we have the information from the invoice, customers sign the lease agreement electronically. Then, you confirm delivery with Koalafi. Upon receiving confirmation of delivery, we will fund your account within 72 business hours.
How much can my customers be approved for through Koalafi?
Qualifying consumers may be approved for up to $7,500 in lease-to-own financing or $10,000 in loan financing.
How soon will my account be funded?
Koalafi will initiate funding your account within 48 hours after the customer receives the merchandise and you mark the items as delivered in the merchant portal. Funding will be initiated on Mondays for all leases processed Saturday and Sunday. Our funding department is open Monday-Friday.
Once I become a Koalafi partner, how soon can I start financing customers?

What are my obligations to the customer and Koalafi?
To the best of your ability, correctly explain our financing plan
Verify that all signing documents are correct and accurately signed and dated by the customer.
