“I had three credit cards all charging over 22% interest. Consolidating them into one fixed payment at a lower rate cut my monthly outgoing by nearly $200. The process was straightforward and I had the funds in my account the next morning.”

No. Scratchpay's plan check uses a soft inquiry only. Soft inquiries are not reported to credit bureaus as applications and leave no mark on your score. You can see all available payment plan options without any credit impact whatsoever.
Certain Scratchpay plans carry a 0% promotional APR, meaning you repay only the amount financed — no interest, no financing fees. Eligibility depends on your credit profile and the plan term selected. All available plans, including their APR, are shown to you in full before you confirm anything. If a 0% plan is available to you, you will see it in your results.
Scratchpay is designed specifically for veterinary care. This includes emergency treatment, diagnostics, surgery, dental procedures, specialist consultations, cancer treatment, orthopedic care, and other services performed at a licensed veterinary practice in Scratchpay's partner network.
Plan checks return results in 60 seconds. Confirmation is completed at the clinic using Scratchpay's integrated system — no printing or paperwork required. Your veterinary practice can proceed with treatment as soon as your plan is confirmed.
Scratchpay evaluates a range of credit profiles, including applicants with limited or imperfect credit history. Your credit score is one factor — income and overall financial picture also inform the plans you are offered. Checking your options takes 60 seconds and never affects your score.
Plan APRs available through Scratchpay range from 5.99% to 35.99%. The specific rate on any plan is fixed and disclosed in full before you confirm. It does not change after you sign. Plans are structured so your monthly payment amount stays the same for the entire term.
Scratchpay does not charge application fees. Any applicable plan fees are disclosed clearly before you confirm your selection — there are no post-acceptance surprises. The total amount you will repay is always shown upfront.
Yes. There are no prepayment penalties. Paying off your balance early reduces the total interest owed because interest accrues only on the remaining principal. You can pay ahead or pay in full at any time.
Scratchpay works with over 28,000 veterinary practices across the United States. If your current clinic is not yet a partner, you can contact Scratchpay directly or ask your clinic to apply — enrollment is free for practices. You can also search for Scratchpay partner clinics near you on the Scratchpay website.
A credit card carries an open-ended revolving balance at a variable rate — the average APR for new accounts exceeds 27%. Scratchpay offers fixed-term payment plans with a set monthly payment, a disclosed total cost, and 0% APR options. You know exactly what you will pay before you commit, and the cost does not change while you repay.

Important Regulatory Disclosures

Loan Terms & Amounts: Loan amounts range from $100 to $5000. Minimum repayment term: 61 days. Maximum repayment term: 60 months (5 years). All loan products offered through this platform require repayment in full in 61 days or longer.

Maximum APR: The maximum Annual Percentage Rate (APR) for payment plans available through this platform is 35.99%. APR is calculated in accordance with the Truth in Lending Act (TILA), 12 CFR Part 1026, and includes the interest rate plus all applicable fees. Minimum APR: 5.99%.

Representative Example: A care plan of $2,400 repaid over 12 months at a fixed APR of 0% results in 12 equal monthly payments of $200.00. Total amount repayable: $2,400.00. Total interest: $0.00. For plans outside the 0% promotional window: a plan of $2,400 repaid over 18 months at 14.99% APR results in 18 monthly payments of $148.17. Total amount repayable: $2,667.06. Your actual rate depends on credit profile, plan amount, and term selected. Not all applicants will qualify for 0% APR promotional plans.

No Guarantee of Approval: Submitting an inquiry or application does not guarantee loan approval or a specific loan offer. All applications are subject to credit review, identity verification, income verification, and lender underwriting criteria. Approval and final loan terms are at the sole discretion of the participating lender.

Credit Inquiry: Checking your rate uses a soft credit pull and will not affect your credit score. Proceeding with a full loan application may result in a hard credit inquiry, which may temporarily affect your credit score. State availability, loan terms, rates, and fees vary by lender and are subject to change without notice. Not available in all states.

Platform Disclosure: Scratchpay is a veterinary payment plan platform. Scratchpay facilitates payment plan options for veterinary care in partnership with licensed financial institutions. Scratchpay does not guarantee approval or specific plan terms, and plan availability may vary by state. Scratchpay may receive compensation in connection with plan originations, which does not influence the plan terms offered to you. Please review all plan terms, rates, and fees carefully before confirming any payment plan.

Risk Warning: Borrowing money involves financial risk. Failure to repay a loan on time may result in additional fees, negative credit reporting, and collections activity. Only borrow what you can comfortably repay. If you are experiencing financial difficulty, consider contacting a nonprofit credit counseling agency such as the NFCC (nfcc.org) for free guidance.
