Important Information About Opening an Account: To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. What this means for you: When you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth or other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver's license or other identifying documents.
Services include:
Products we may make available on the Site or through the Services include:
Please note that Bread SplitPay may be either a Loan or a Purchase, depending on where you shop. Loans will be subject to an Installment Loan Agreement with Comenity Capital Bank and Purchases will be subject to a Purchase Agreement with the Retailer that is immediately assigned to Bread Financial. In either case, the transaction will be payable in four interest-free payments every two weeks.
We may change these Terms of Use (including adding or removing provisions) at any time in our sole discretion. We will post the revised Terms of Use on the Site and indicate the date the Terms of Use were last revised. You agree to review these Terms of Use periodically to ensure you are aware of any changes. By using the Services after the Terms of Use have been updated, you are agreeing to the new Terms of Use.
To be eligible for a Loan or Purchase, you must be of legal age to enter into contracts in your state (generally 18) and be a legal resident of the United States, except as otherwise provided in any offer of credit.
Loans or Purchases may be used for your personal, family, or household use only, unless otherwise provided in any offer of credit. If you have been denied a Bread Loans loan during the preceding 30 days, you are ineligible to submit a new application for a Bread Loans loan. If you have been denied a Bread Pay loan during the preceding 90 days, you are ineligible to submit a new application for a Bread Pay loan.
By using the Services or accessing this Site, you:
In addition, if you apply for a Bread SplitPay Loan or Purchase, you must have:
If you apply for a Bread Loans loan, you must have no more than the maximum allowed Bread Loans permitted by Bread Financial, which may vary from time to time.
By accessing this Site or by using the Services, you authorize us or a third party acting on our behalf to collect and store information about you and the device you are using to access the Services. This includes information that we will collect, obtain and verify, on behalf of the Banks, pursuant to Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act. Review the Bread Financial Privacy Policy & Notices for more information.
You authorize the Banks and/or Bread Financial to obtain your credit report and other information from one or more consumer reporting agencies for the purposes of processing your Loan or Purchase application, evaluating your Prequalification request, and/or at the Banks’ or Bread Financial’s discretion from time to time thereafter in connection with the underwriting, servicing, and/or collection of any Loan either of the Banks extends to you or Purchase you complete with a Retailer. You consent to our obtaining such records by submitting an application or solicitation. Upon request, we will tell you the name and address of any credit reporting agency that furnished a report on you.
The Banks and Bread Financial may, at their sole discretion, report information about your Loan or Purchase to consumer reporting agencies. Such information may appear on your credit report and may impact your credit score.
California and Utah residents: As required by law, you are hereby notified that a negative credit report reflecting on your credit record may be submitted to a credit reporting agency if you fail to fulfill the terms of your credit obligations.
We may report information about your loan to credit bureaus. Late payments, missed payments, or other defaults on your loan may be reflected in your credit report.
Prior to submitting a Loan or Purchase application, you must check your eligibility through Prequalification. The Prequalification terms are not the final terms on which credit will be available and may change when the Agreement is presented to you or thereafter. The Prequalification is not a guarantee that you will be approved for credit because the Prequalification is an estimate and may change based on a variety of factors.
If you are initially eligible, you may submit a Loan or Purchase application. All Loans are subject to final approval and funding by Comenity Capital Bank, Cards are subject to credit approval by one of the Banks and Purchases are subject to eligibility criteria as we or the Retailer may determine from time to time. Any Loan or Purchase may be held as pending, delayed for processing, or canceled at any time prior to the issuance of your Loan or the Retailer’s fulfillment of the goods or service for your Purchase.
For Bread Pay, if the goods or services you are attempting to purchase cost more than the amount of the Loan that may be offered to you, or a Merchant wishes to collect some portion of the payment separately, you may be permitted to pay the remaining amount directly to the Merchant through a third-party payment processor by credit or debit card. If a partial refund is later issued for your transaction, any partial refund will be applied first to the card used for the separate payment and then to the Loan.
Your Agreement has important terms, which you should read. A copy of the Agreement will be provided to you before you complete your purchase or debt consolidation request so you can review and decide whether to accept the terms offered.
There may be a delay in the issuance of Bread Pay proceeds. Bread Pay proceeds may be issued to the Merchant before they have fulfilled shipment of the goods to you and interest may start accruing on your loan or payments may be due before you have received your goods or services from the Merchant. You should notify the Merchant if there are any unexpected delays or issues with your order. Please review the Merchant or Retailer Disputes, Refunds, and Cancellations section on how to resolve disputes with a Merchant. Please review the Debt Consolidation Loans section for additional details about Bread Loans.
After your Bread Financial Loan Product has been issued or you have completed your Purchase with the Retailer, you will receive an email with instructions on how to access the Member Portal, where you can view your Agreement. Card Agreements may be downloaded or printed during the application process and will also be mailed with approved Cards.
We may offer you the ability to apply for Bread Loans to pay the outstanding balance on one or more credit cards issued in your name by eligible U.S. banks or for other purposes. At this time, all Bread Loans proceeds will be paid directly to your credit card issuers and you will not receive any proceeds. In the future, we may offer other ways to receive loan proceeds.
We are unable to consolidate balances from the Banks, creditors who are unable to accept payment electronically and require a paper check, or non-U.S. creditor accounts. Bread Loans may not be used to consolidate other types of loans, including post-secondary education expenses, real estate, mortgages, securities, vehicle financing, or any other purpose prohibited by law, these Terms of Use, any requirements or limitations we disclosed at the time of offer, or the terms of your Bread Loans Agreement. Additional limitations may apply, including the number of credit card accounts that you may designated for one Bread Loans loan or the minimum and maximum Bread Loans amount that you may apply for.
Your Bread Loans loan may result in a higher annual percentage rate (APR) or higher monthly payment than you would otherwise pay through your current creditor. Please review your agreement with your credit card issuers for more information about rates, fees, and other charges to decide what is best for your needs.
We rely on the accuracy of the credit card information that you provide to us and are not required (but reserve the right) to verify information before sending any Bread Loans proceeds.
It may take up to 30 days to process and transmit proceeds to your credit card issuers. In the meantime, you are responsible for making all required payments on your credit card accounts. In addition, the amount you designated to be paid to a particular credit card issuer may not fully pay off your balance at the time that credit card issuer receives the proceeds and posts them to your account.
We reserve the right to cancel or reject any Bread Loans payment to any or all credit card issuers. In addition, if we cannot process any Bread Loans payment to a credit card issuer, for whatever reason, within 30 days from executing your Agreement, we will cancel that payment. In certain cases, your credit card issuer may not be able to post any Bread Loans payment to your account (for example, if the credit card information you provided is incorrect or your credit card issuer rejects the payment). We will reduce the total amount of your loan by the cancelled or failed amount and you will not owe any interest on the cancelled or failed payment.
We will not be liable for:
You agree to help us resolve any disputes with other creditors.
We may offer you the ability to apply for Bread Loans for personal, family, or household purposes. Personal loan proceeds will be sent electronically to the bank account you designate. We may limit the number of bank accounts you may designate for receipt of proceeds.
Bread Loans may not be used for any purpose prohibited by law or inconsistent with these Terms of Use, any requirements or limitations we disclosed at the time of offer, or the terms of your Bread Loans Agreement. Additional limitations may apply, including the minimum and maximum Bread Loans amount that you may apply for.
We rely on the accuracy of the bank account information that you provide to us and are not required (but reserve the right) to verify information before sending any Bread Loans proceeds.
It may take up to 72 hours to process and transmit proceeds to your bank account. If we are unable to transmit proceeds to your bank account, we may cancel your loan.
You acknowledge that Bread is not responsible for:
You agree that you will not hold Bread Financial liable under any theory of products liability, personal injury, or breach of warranty for your purchase or debt consolidation.
Any returns or disputes pertaining to the product or service, the amount you were charged, delivery, or any other aspect of your retail transaction with a Merchant or Retailer must be first directed to the Merchant or Retailer.
If you are unable to resolve an issue regarding your purchase with the Merchant or Retailer you may contact us to submit a dispute on your behalf. Please review the FAQs in the Shoppers Help Center on the Site for more information.
If the Merchant processes a refund, we will make adjustments to your Loan as provided in your Bread Financial Loan Product Agreement. If the refund is for the entire borrowed amount, you may still owe finance charges depending on when the Merchant notifies us of the refund. If a refund is processed by the Merchant before the Bread Financial Loan Product is issued, your loan will be issued in the reduced amount or your loan will be canceled in its entirety if the reduced amount is equal to the full amount of the loan. You will still be responsible for any outstanding balance on your Bread Financial Loan Product. You may also owe other amounts (such as interest, late fees, or non-sufficient funds fees) that accrued prior to issuance of the refund and were not paid. Review your Bread Financial Loan Product Agreement for further details.
If the Retailer processes a refund, we will make adjustments to your Purchase as provided in your Purchase Agreement. The amount you owe will be reduced by the amount of the refund. If the refund is for the entire Purchase amount, your Purchase Agreement will be treated as fully paid. The Retailer will be solely responsible for determining the amount of the refund. You will still be responsible for any outstanding balance. Please review your Purchase Agreement for further details.
Some Merchants and Retailers may give you a store credit or some other form of credit instead of processing a refund to your Loan or Purchase. Please review the Merchant’s or Retailer’s return policy for details. You remain responsible for repaying your Loan or Purchase regardless of how the Merchant or Retailer chooses to process the return.
If consolidating debt with Bread Loans, you are solely responsible for identifying the amount to be paid to your credit card issuers. If the amount results in an overpayment to your credit card account, we will not issue a refund or cancel your loan (in whole or in part) and your repayment obligation under your Agreement will remain unchanged. Once your Bread Loans proceeds have been posted by your credit card issuers to your accounts, any disputes regarding overpayments must be directed to the credit card issuers.
For Cards, refer to your Card Agreement or billing statement for information on billing disputes.
You may log into the Member Portal at member-portal.breadpayments.com/login or call (844) 992-7323 to make a payment via electronic fund transfer from your bank account or debit card for Installments and Bread Loans or debit or credit card for Bread SplitPay Loans or Purchases.
For Bread SplitPay Loans or Purchases, you must consent to enroll in AutoPay prior to or at the time of checkout and authorize Bread Financial to authorize recurring charges to your Payment Card on each due date. You can unenroll in AutoPay or change your registered Payment Card at any time by logging into the Member Portal or calling (844) 992-7323.
If you attempt to complete a purchase using a Bread SplitPay Loan or Purchase, you agree that we may authorize a debit or charge to your Payment Card equal to up to half the amount of your purchase. Any unpaid portion of that authorization that is canceled or refunded to you may take several days to be reflected on your Payment Card account. We are unable to control when that amount will be credited back to you. We are not responsible for the release of any holds. Please contact your card issuing bank.
For Cards, see page 2 of your billing statement for information on how to make payments.
At any time, we or the Bank may without notice:
