How does humm work?
Like other "buy now, pay later" programs, humm has partnered with an ever-growing range of retailers from whom you can purchase products without paying anything upfront. To buy online, simply look for retailers using the humm icon, and use humm at the checkout in order to pay. To buy in-store, you can download the humm app (where you will find select stores using humm) and create a barcode that you can show the cashier to pay for your items.
Fees incurred using humm vary depending on how much borrowing power you wish to access and on whether you make late payments. Quick online approval is available for purchases under $2,000, and you can get pre-approval online for up to $10,000. You can apply in-store for purchasing power up to $30,000. You can also pay off your balance early, should you wish.

Hi Troy, You can’t apply through Humm directly – it provides its loans through retailers and you usually sign-up in store. You can compare other personal loans to find an option you can apply for directly.

l purchased hearing aids via Humm , was given approval for $3500. l paid a deposit and have a copy of the transation that states that l owe $2850. Yet when l go into my Humm account it says that l have $500.00 and no transactions have been recorded and also l have not had any direct debits taken out yet. l got the hearing aids in july last year but as yet have not been happy with them so they are being fixed. Do l still have that amount to pay off the hearing aids or not? Thanks

Hi Cindy, A NSW Photo Card may be used as photo identification if you don’t have a NSW Driver Licence. It has the same application process as the driver licence, and some of the same security features.
