How it works:
-
1. Chose your equipment
Browse and select the equipment your business needs.
-
2. Select “PropelPay” at checkout
If your basket qualifies, you’ll see this as a payment option.
-
3. Pick your payment terms
Choose a payment term that suits your business and spread the cost of your equipment over 1 to 4 years (depending on the type of equipment).
-
4. Complete a quick & simple application
Provide basic business information and details of a Director or LLP Member authorised to sign the finance agreement for verification and eligibility checks. The Director or LLP Member will need a valid passport, driving licence or EU ID card.
Most applications up to £50,000 are approved in minutes. Applications above this value may take a little longer, and you will be kept informed throughout. -
5. Sign & receive your equipment
If your application is successful, the Director or LLP Member will receive the finance agreement by email to review and sign electronically. Your order is then processed, and monthly payments begin one month after you receive your full order.
FAQs
What is PropelPay and how does it work?
PropelPay gives you access to a finance lease product from Propel, which allows you to spread the cost of your equipment over 1-4 years. This is powered through Propel’s innovative technology, providing you with a quick and simple application journey.
Who is eligible for PropelPay?
UK businesses that have a legal status as a Limited, PLCs, or LLP company. To qualify, your business must:
- Be registered in the UK
- Have a UK bank account or building society account with Direct Debit facility
- Have a registered Director or LLP Member (registered at
Companies House) who can sign the agreement and provide valid ID (passport,
driving licence, or EU ID card)
How much can a customer finance via PropelPay?
From as little as £300 with no maximum limit. The amount you can borrow depends on the equipment you want to finance and your business situation. If the equipment qualifies for PropelPay, it will show as a payment option at Onecom’s checkout.
How long does the application process take?
Most decisions are made within minutes. If Propel needs more information, they will get in touch and let you know the next steps.
Will I own the equipment?
Not during the term of the finance agreement. During this time, the equipment is owned by Propel and leased to you by Propel. Propel is the finance ‘lender’. At the end of the lease term, you can:
a) Request to buy the equipment (price determined by Propel); or
b) Return the equipment; or
c) Continue to lease the equipment from Propel at the same monthly cost
Can I keep the equipment and settle my finance early?
You do not have an automatic right to settle your finance agreement early but Propel are happy to chat if your plans change and you want to explore this option. If Propel agrees, you will need to pay the remaining balance on your finance agreement.
For early settlement requests, please contact the Propel Support Team on 0161 841 2300, email or submit a request via the Propel Customer Portal. Once Propel has received your request, they’ll follow up with next steps.
How do I manage my finance agreement?
For any queries about your finance agreement, please contact the Propel Support Team on 0161 841 2300, email support@propelpay.co.uk or use the Propel Customer Portal.
Am I responsible for insuring and maintaining the equipment?
Yes, it is your responsibility to keep the equipment insured and in good condition. You may need to replace lost or stolen equipment.
What if my application isn’t approved?
Sometimes Propel is unable to approve an application. This might happen if the application doesn’t meet Propel’s lending and eligibility requirements, for example, if Propel determines the payment wouldn’t fit comfortably within your budget, or if your credit profile doesn’t align with Propel’s criteria.
Sadly, Propel is not able to supply you with a reason for a decline, but don’t worry – you can still complete your purchase using another payment method on Onecom’s website.
Who do I contact if I have more questions about PropelPay?
For more information or assistance with PropelPay, please contact the Propel Support Team on 0161 841 2300 or email support@propelpay.co.uk. If you are an existing customer, you can also contact the Propel team via the Propel Customer Portal.
I am not a Director or LLP Member, but I am an authorised signatory for the company. Can I sign the agreement?
Only a registered Director or LLP Member can sign the finance agreement. You can pause the application while you contact them and arrange for them to sign. Once they have signed, you’ll get an email with a link to resume the application when you are ready.
Who is the ‘Applicant’? Is that the Director or someone else within our company?
The Applicant is the person placing the order online and applying for finance via PropelPay. A registered Director or LLP Member will still need to sign the finance agreement. The Applicant and Director/LLP Member can be different people.
I don’t have the company’s bank details to hand. Can the Director or LLP Member enter them when they sign the agreement?
No, your company bank details are needed as part of the application process. If you do not have the company bank details, you can pause the application process and resume via a link that will be emailed to you.
What happens if I need to pause my application?
You can pause your application by pressing the ‘Pause’ button. You’ll receive an email confirming that your application has been paused and providing a link to resume it later. The email will also let you know how long the application will remain active. If you do not resume the application in time, the information already provided will be deleted, and you’ll need to reapply on Onecom’s website.
As the Applicant, how will I know that the Director or LLP Member has signed the finance agreement?
You will receive an email confirming the finance agreement has been signed with details of next steps.
I want to return equipment. What should I do?
Please contact Onecom first to confirm they’ll accept the return in line with their returns policy. If Onecom accepts the return and you have no additional equipment under the finance agreement, they will tell Propel and your finance agreement will be cancelled.
If you have remaining equipment, this will trigger a new finance agreement. Make sure the new agreement is signed so Propel can adjust your payments correctly. The new finance agreement will need to be signed by the same signing Director or LLP Member.
I haven’t received the finance agreement to sign
Check your email junk or spam folder first. If it’s not there, please contact the Propel Support Team on 0161 841 2300 or email support@propelpay.co.uk. If your email address was entered incorrectly, the application will need to be restarted.
I’m struggling to afford my monthly payments. What can I do?
Please get in touch with the Propel Support Team on 0161 841 2300 as soon as possible. Propel can discuss options to help you. For further information, click here.
What if I have a problem with the equipment financed under this agreement?
Please contact Onecom who will handle any equipment issues. If you need to speak to someone about your finance agreement, please get in touch with Propel.
How can I change my details?
Contact the Propel Support Team on 0161 841 2300, email support@propelpay.co.uk or submit a request via the Propel Customer Portal. Once Propel has received your request, they’ll follow up with next steps.
What is the Propel Customer Portal?
In the Propel Customer Portal, you can view your finance agreement(s), check on the status of your applications, request changes to your customer account, and chat with Propel's Customer Service Team. It’s your go-to place for managing your account.
What type of finance is it and how does it work?
A Finance Lease lets your business use equipment without paying the full cost upfront. You pay fixed monthly amounts, including interest and VAT, over an agreed period. When all payments have been made, you can return the equipment, keep leasing it, or request to buy it at a price determined by Propel.
