SmartTech Scheme
SmartTech™, available via Purple Place, enables you to get the latest tech at the best price and spread the payments over your salary, interest-free.
You pay via monthly salary reductions (over 6-12 or 18 months) with no credit checks or up-front costs. Perfect if you find yourself in a pinch before payday or urgently need to replace or upgrade an appliance at short notice.
Currys will offer the lowest price possible across the high street – including against Amazon, Argos, Asda, John Lewis, Tesco, and AO.com. If any of those retailers have the same tech at a cheaper price, good news – Currys will match it!
Eligibility
- You can only have two SmartTech™ applications live at a time (up to 10% of gross salary capped at a maximum of £1,500) subject to affordability.
- Employees must be out of their probation period or have been working at the University for a minimum of 9 months.
- The period of time remaining on an employee's contract must be more than the selected repayment period.
- Your hourly rate after SmartTech™ deductions cannot take you below the National Minimum wage rate (currently £11.44 per hour at 1 April 2024).
