Are you thinking of spreading the cost of your purchase?
Finance is a great way to spread the cost of your purchase if used responsibly. We have teamed up with Omni, one of the UK’s leading finance specialists, so that you can apply for and complete a loan application quickly and easily. Speak to us in our clinics to find out more. The application process is simple, only takes a couple of minutes to complete, and you will receive confirmation of whether your application has been successful, or referred for further consideration.
We offer 0% interest-free I0 month’s finance payments on our Hearing Aids and Tinnitus Management products. Please note, that finance is only available via our clinics and is not available online. Please ask us for more information or contact Omni Finance for more information.
It’s important to remember that you should only enter into a finance agreement if you are sure you can afford the repayments for the full term of the loan. Whichever finance option you choose to apply for, you need to be sure that you can afford to pay the deposit and keep up with your monthly repayments. You should think about any changes to your situation that might occur during the term of the loan, which could affect your income or expenditure, for example – retirement, moving home, changing jobs, or any health issues.
You can be considered for finance if you:
- Are at least 18 years old
- Are a permanent UK resident and have lived in the
UK for at least 3 years - Have a gross annual income of at least £5,000
- Have a UK bank account capable of accepting Direct
Debits - Have a good credit history with no late payments,
Debt Relief Orders, County Court Judgments or
bankruptcies - Meet any other Omni criteria
Please remember that your application for finance isn’t
guaranteed to be accepted, and that all applications are
subject to status.
FAQ’s
Will a credit search be registered against me if I apply?
Omni will perform a ‘soft’ credit search on your credit file as part of their assessment, to determine whether the loan is affordable for you and if you are likely to make your repayments on time. It’s important to know that if your application is accepted, a ‘hard’ credit check will be made on your credit file. Only you can see that a ‘soft’ search has been made on your credit file, but a ‘hard’ credit check will be visible to others viewing your credit file, for example, if you apply for credit in the future, the lender will see that an application credit search was made on your credit file.
What happens after I have submitted my application?
Your application will be assessed based on eligibility, credit history and affordability and Omni will let you know the outcome in just a few seconds. Your application may be referred to a lender for manual assessment and you may receive a request for additional information to support your application.
What happens if my application is accepted?
Once your application is accepted you will be prompted to review and sign your credit documentation. This documentation will detail all the important information about your loan and should be read carefully.
What happens if my application is declined?
If your application was declined, Omni may be unable to give you specific reasons why. Omni uses information from your credit report, alongside your income and expenditure data to make a lending decision. You will receive an email which will provide further details of the Credit Reference Agencies and contact information for any queries you may have.
Managing my loan: When do my monthly repayments start?
After your goods or services have been provided your loan will be activated. Your first Direct Debit payment will be taken approximately 30 days after you receive your welcome email from Omni. This will show on your statement as a payment to Omni. You can request to change your monthly payment date after the first payment has been made by contacting Omni and speaking to their customer services team on 0333 240 8317. You will also be registered for their Customer Self-Service portal, where you will be able to change the payment date yourself.
How can I contact the lender to discuss my loan?
There are three ways to contact Omni:
- Through the Customer Self Service Portal.
- By email at customerenquiries@ocrf.co.uk

Are there any fees for repaying my loan early?
There may be a fee for early repayment depending on the type of loan. Your Credit Agreement will detail the applicable fees for your product.
Can I cancel my finance agreement?
You have 14 days to cancel your credit agreement, please note that to cancel your goods and services you will need to speak to Omni directly. Cancelling your finance agreement with Omni without cancelling the goods and
services will mean payment for the goods and services will still be required.
