Which payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We accept Debit, Visa, MasterCard or American Express card. We do not accept any prepaid cards.

Question 3

Is the product brand new?

Accepted Answer

We guarantee as good as new conditions for all our devices. If you feel the product you received does not meet that promise, send it back within three (3) days and we will provide you a new one free of charge.

Question 4

When do I pay the first month’s subscription?

Accepted Answer

Your subscription is always paid monthly in advance. The first payment is made when your order request has been confirmed. All subsequent subscription payments are made monthly from the date of the delivery of the product. You will only pay for the period you have the product.

Example based on a three month rental period:

15/02/2022 - placed order and order is confirmed. Your first payment is deducted on this day.
18/02/2022 - the device is delivered to you on. This sets your future payment dates.

Your subsequent payments are made on the 18th of each month afterwards:

18/3/2022 - second payment
18/4/2022 - third payment

Question 5

How long will it take to deliver my order?

Accepted Answer

We know you are excited and we want you to start using your product as soon as possible! As soon as your order is completed and approved, you should receive your order within 3-5 working days*.

If you have any queries regarding your order, please reach out via our WhatsApp at +65 8168-8604 or send us an email at support@cinch.sg and we will assist you from there.

*Please note that that pre-orders will take a little longer, as they are subject to manufacturer shipment dates.

Question 6

How long will it take to deliver my iPhone 17?

Accepted Answer

We know you’re excited to receive your iPhone 17! Once your order is confirmed, you can enjoy free delivery within 1–2 weeks (excluding weekends and public holidays).

Please note that delivery timelines may vary slightly due to the current global iPhone supply shortage.

If you have any questions about your order, feel free to reach out to our Customer Support via Live Chat or email us at support@cinch.sg — we’ll be happy to assist you.

Question 7

Can I buy my device?

Accepted Answer

Yes — you can choose to purchase your device at any time during your subscription. All subscription payments you’ve made will count toward the final purchase price.

The purchase price is dynamic and may change over time based on several factors, including your payment history and account activity. You can always view your current offer by logging in to your account under:

My Account > Manage Subscription > Buy

Purchasing is completely optional — you can also choose to upgrade, extend, or return your device at the end of your plan.

Question 8

Can I purchase the product immediately?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you may buy your device after the first month's payment, however, this might be more expensive than buying it retail. Our subscriptions are designed to help you spread out the cost of the device, while retaining the flexibility to upgrade and the benefit of device protection.

If you are keen to purchase immediately, we recommend going to your local retailer.

Question 9

How is the purchase price of a device calculated?

Accepted Answer

The purchase price is calculated using a dynamic model that considers a range of factors. These may include your subscription history, account activity, and the status of the device over time.

This approach allows us to offer pricing that adapts to your unique circumstances. As a result, the purchase price may change — and we recommend checking your account to view the most up-to-date offer.

All payments you’ve made as part of your subscription will continue to count toward the final price.

Question 10

Can I reschedule the delivery timing?

Accepted Answer

We do not recommend rescheduling of delivery as the delivery is by outsource delivery partners. However, should you require assistance on that, please do not hesitate to contact us via WhatsApp at +65 8168-8604 or send us an email at support@cinch.sg.

Question 11

How do you make sure my data is safe?

Accepted Answer

We only use your data to manage your relationship with Cinch and our services. Through Singpass we receive standard-format personal data including income information. We only use privacy and encryption protocols that are approved by Singpass. We take data privacy extremely seriously. For full details on how we protect and manage your data, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

Question 12

Can I upgrade to another model or changed of mind after receiving my order?

Accepted Answer

If you change your mind about an order you just placed, you can cancel and return your product (in good condition and in the original packaging) within 3 days of receiving the order.

If you want to end your subscription early or request to switch to another model, but after the 3-day return window, it will be considered as an early upgrade and it will be considered as an early termination/upgrade fee. You will have to pay an early termination fee of S$250.

For all cancellation and early upgrade/termination issues, please tell our support team your reason for cancelling and we’ll let you know how to proceed.

Please reach out to our WhatsApp at +65 8168-8604 or send us an email at support@cinch.sg.

Question 13

Am I eligible to subscribe to Cinch?

Accepted Answer

Cinch's subscriptions are available to you if you are:

A Singapore Citizen
A Permanent Resident (PR)
Holding an Employment Pass (EP)
Holding an S Pass (SP)

You must also pass our identity verification (i.e. SingPass Myinfo) and credit checks. We will contact you through email if we need more information on your account.

Question 14

How long is the approval process?

Accepted Answer

Once an order is placed, it will take 24-48 hours for order approval. The delivery will take 3-5 working days after order confirmation (except pre-orders). You will receive an email update at every step of the way (order confirmation, delivery, etc).

Question 16

Can I increase my credit limit?

Accepted Answer

Credit limits are naturally increased for our existing customers with good payment behaviour.

Question 17

I would like to update my mobile number.

Question 18

What if I am late on my payments?

Accepted Answer

If you fail to pay the Fees for the product by the relevant due date (i.e. same recurring date each month during the Rental Period following the receipt of your product), you will be charged a late payment fee of S$ 15 for each late payment. Device usage may also be restricted due to excessive non-paymnet. Please note: Repeated delays in payment will be reported to the credit bureau in Singapore. This will impact your credit score and lead to the suspension of your Cinch account until your entire overdue amount, including late fees, is paid in full.

Question 19

I want to add a new payment card.

Accepted Answer

You will be able to add a new payment card in your cinch account.

As currently you are unable to set the card as default on the website, please reach out to us via WhatsApp at +65 8168-8604 or send us an email at support@cinch.sg, and provide us the last 4 digit number, we will set your preferred card as the default card for you.

Question 20

What is Notice of Assessment (NOA)?

Accepted Answer

The Notice of Assessment includes the following information:

Assessable Income: This is the overall amount of money earned from renting out your property to others, including wages and interest. Personal Reliefs: The personal reliefs that Singaporean taxpayers receive from the tax system are distinct from the deductibles that are available to corporations.

Chargeable Income: Your personal taxes are charged on the amount of chargeable income that you earn in the NOA for people. The amount is calculated by subtracting reliefs from your Assessable Income, the same as we've seen with businesses.

Tax Payable: The total amount of tax you owe is determined by comparing your Chargeable Income to the appropriate personal income tax rates.

Question 21

Can I cancel my order after placing an order?

Accepted Answer

If you change your mind about an order you just placed, you can cancel and return your product (in good condition and in the original packaging) within 24 hours of receiving the order.

If you want to end your rental early, but after the 24 hours return window, you will have to pay an early termination fee of S$250. For all cancellation and early termination issues, please tell our support team your reason for cancelling and we’ll let you know how to proceed.

Please reach out to our WhatsApp at +65 8168-8604 or send us an email at support@cinch.sg.

Question 22

Can I change my chosen minimum rental period after I have received my device?

Accepted Answer

You have the option to extend or renew your rental during the last month of your term. Moving forward, your monthly rental rate will reflect that of the newly selected term. Unfortunately, you cannot shorten your rental term without terminating your rental. This can be done at any time after the initial 3-day return window. However, it is important to note that this will incur an early termination fee of SGD 250. If you wish to extend or terminate your rental, please reach out to our WhatsApp at +65 8168-8604 with your desired change or send us an email at support@cinch.sg.

Question 23

How does Cinch Damage Coverage work?

Accepted Answer

Cinch Damage Coverage covers 90% of all repair costs due to accidental damage. In the event of theft, loss or wilful damage, you will be responsible for the full cost of the device at the prevailing retail price. Once you have returned the product in its original packaging to us, all you have to do is sit back and relax. We will go through the following steps and notify you if there are any additional costs related to your rental:

Our Cinch Repair Team professionally audits the device and repairs any damages.
Reconciliation & billing: we look at both assessments and charge you 10% of the repair costs incurred for accidental damages only.

If we determine that there has been water damage or the product is beyond repair due to serious damage, we will charge you the full retail price of the product.

Question 24

What happens if I lose my device or if it’s stolen?

Question 26

Who is responsible for repairs to the device?

Accepted Answer

Because we try to keep our devices in the best condition for all the device’s owners, we only allow repairs and refurbishments done by the Cinch Repair Team. We do not accept the return of devices that have been repaired, modified or refurbished externally, and would require you to purchase the device from us.

Question 28

I didn’t return, extend, or purchase my device, but my rental period has ended. What happens next?

Accepted Answer

If you did not take action, but the subscription term has ended, you will automatically be switched to a pay-as-you-go plan at the same monthly rate. You will still have the option to return the device, purchase it, or extend the subscription at any point.

Question 29

How and when do I return my device?

Accepted Answer

To return your device, you need to cancel your subscription within the last 30 days of your subscription term.

You will be charged pay-as-you-go in the following month should you choose to return the device later than the 5 day return window.
