How does ACIMA financing work?
What is Acima Lease-to-Own Financing?

Acima Lease-to-Own is a flexible alternative to traditional credit. It allows you to take home the tires you need and make payments over time. This is not a credit, loan, or traditional financing transaction. Instead, Acima leases the tires to you with the option to purchase them over time.

How does Acima’s Lease-to-Own program work?

First, you select the tires you want to lease at a participating retailer. Then, Acima pays the retailer for the product upfront, and you lease it from Acima by making regular lease renewal payments. Once all the payments are made, you own the tires outright. If you want to own the tires sooner, you can opt for an early purchase option, which can save you money compared to the total lease cost.

What are the benefits of using Acima Financing at Big Tires?

With Acima, you get the flexibility to make payments that match your budget and schedule. Plus, there’s no long-term obligation—you can choose to purchase early and save. It’s a great option if you need tires now but prefer to pay over time.

Does applying for Acima affect my credit score?

No, applying for Acima does not hurt your credit score. Acima conducts a soft credit check, which does not impact your credit. They also consider income and checking account history for approval, so it’s accessible even for those with no credit history.

Are there any upfront costs with Acima?

There may be an initial payment required upon signing the lease agreement, but it’s typically a minimal amount. The rest of the payments are spread out over the lease term.

Can I use Acima Financing for any tire brand at Big Tires?

Acima can be used for a wide range of tire brands available at Big Tires. It provides a lease-to-own solution for tires and wheels up to an approved amount.

What happens if I can’t make a payment to Acima?

If payments are missed, Acima may report to credit bureaus, and you might incur late fees. It’s essential to stay on top of your payment schedule to avoid any negative impact.
