Insta Finance: Get Samsung Smartphones at 0% EMI Facility with Just Citizenship

People in Nepal will now be able to purchase Samsung smartphones in easy monthly installments (EMI) with 0% interest, requiring only a citizenship document. Samsung no longer requires proof of income.

In June 2023, Samsung launched Insta Finance, a no-cost EMI facility for consumers purchasing smartphones. It allowed consumers all over Nepal to access easy credit and financing services for buying the Samsung smartphone of their choice without requiring a credit card.

Initially, the EMI facility was available for smartphones priced above Rs. 25,000. However, the Samsung EMI facility is currently available for phones above Rs. 20,000.

In addition to citizenship and passport-sized photos, the facility required the applicant to provide income source documents. Samsung now no longer requires any additional documents other than citizenship and photos.

Samsung Nepal partnered with Hulas Fin Serve Ltd. (HFL), a non-banking financing institution, for the financing facility for Insta Finance.
