    I'd guess those require a UK address in the first place so for what you're looking for I'd say no.

    I was thinking the same thing. There is an 12 month 0% financing option available on Apple UK at the moment but not available in Ireland.
    I would really like to take advantage of the offer but Apple doesn't seem to offer any financing option on the Irish Store.

    Is there still no option for that in Ireland?

    You would instantly fail the financing options background check for the UK bank.

    Its not offered here as our recovery options for people who don't pay loans are pathetic - too many people would sign up, pay 1 month and cancel the DD. This is also why car and personal loans are dearer here and mortgage rates are vastly dearer due to the rabble-rousers you can get to intimidate the reposessors when you've not paid for years, etc. Payday loan firms aren't here due to advertising regulations though, thankfully.

    in the past, I've always seen them offering purchase via FlexiRent, I know it's not 0% interest but they waive the last three installments if you decide to go into a new PCP with them when finished (and they usually let you keep your item if you make them a symbolic offer).

    For purchases paid over 1-2 years it can be competitive, not so much if you spread the price over 3 years.

    However, all this info may not be up-to-date and maybe there were changes lately?
