Ackerman Finance Plans

Website Finance

To help make your purchase as simple as possible Ackerman Music Ltd offer Classic Credit plans of 12, 24 and 36 months. These are available on select instruments at low interest rates (12, 24 or 36 months from 15.9% APR). We also offer 9 months INTEREST FREE finance on some selected instruments.

You will find these offers on the selected instruments webpage where you can order online through instant credit.

You will need to pay a minimum 10% deposit and then pay the balance in monthly instalments.

Please note: You don't need to order the instrument online once you have filled out the agreement. You won't get an email order acknowledgement from us until we contact you to obtain your date of birth.
