Enervee Eco FinancingFinancing that makes efficiency programs work for everyone

A platform capability, not a lending product. Embedded at checkout, off your balance sheet, designed to turn equity goals into measurable participation.

59% of U.S. households can’t cover a $1,000 unplanned expense — the typical price range of an efficient appliance. (Federal Reserve, Survey of Household Economics and Decisionmaking)

Why financing matters

Rebates lower the price.
Financing drives participation.

For programs navigating equity mandates, that distinction is everything.

Micro-loans to lower-income or credit-challenged borrowers

Not a separate equity program. Financing at checkout broadens participation naturally when the process is simple and accessible.

Months to repay

Installment loans spread cost over a real term, where credit cards, BNPL and store financing do not — the difference between qualifying and walking away.

A different kind of financing

Built for participation,
not profit

For most retailers, financing is a profit center — which means high rates, tight credit requirements, and deferred-interest traps. Eco Financing isn't a profit center. It's built into the platform to remove barriers to program participation.

Typical retail financing

Designed to generate profit

  • High APRs drive margin for the retailer
  • Tight credit requirements protect profit
  • Deferred-interest promotions with back-end penalties
  • Short terms push payments higher
  • Incentives favor the sale, not the customer
Eco Financing

Designed to remove barriers

  • Affordable rates, institutional pricing
  • Accessible credit to broaden participation
  • True installment loans — no deferred-interest traps
  • Extended terms to keep monthly payments low
  • Aligned with your program’s equity and participation goals
How it works

A platform capability,
not a lending product

Eco Financing is a feature of the Enervee Marketplace Platform. Embedded at checkout, underwritten by institutional partners, off your balance sheet.

Embedded at checkout

Customers see monthly payment options alongside their cart total. No redirect. No separate application. Financing is part of the buying experience.

Off your balance sheet

Loans are underwritten and serviced by trusted institutional lending partners. No on-book credit exposure, no capital requirements, no servicing burden for your program.

True consumer loans

Installment loans with fixed monthly payments — purpose-built for larger purchases and longer terms than credit cards, BNPL, or store financing.

Accessible and fair

Risk-based pricing designed to reach the customers traditional retail financing misses. Pre-qualification with no impact to credit score.

The numbers that matter
to regulators

Eco Financing isn’t a standalone product. It’s the conversion driver inside your marketplace program.

51%
Financed purchases from disadvantaged communities

Against 35% of New Yorkers living in them. For programs navigating equity mandates and DAC goals, that is a measured lift — not a talking point.

Higher average order value

Customers with financing choose higher-efficiency products that deliver more kWh and therm savings per transaction.

20%
Would have matched that efficiency without financing

The other four in five would have bought less efficient, or not at all. This is the clearest available statement of what financing adds.

FAQ

What program teams ask about financing.

Is financing a substitute for rebates?

No, and it is not designed as one. Rebates lower the price; financing changes whether a customer can act on that price at all. Eco Financing sits alongside your incentive rather than replacing it.

What terms and rates do customers get?

Fixed-payment installment loans from 6 to 60 months, with rates starting at 4.24% APR. Where a program chooses to buy down the lender's rate, customers can be offered 0% APR for a set term.

What purchase sizes does it cover?

Purchases from $500 to $5,000 — sized for appliance and equipment replacement rather than small basket items. A typical water heater project sits near the top of that band.

See the water heater program

Does financing count against our program budget?

No. Loans are underwritten and serviced by institutional lending partners, so there is no on-book credit exposure, no capital requirement and no servicing burden for the program. The only program cost is optional: buying down the rate if you choose to offer 0% APR.

Who is the lender, and whose balance sheet is the loan on?

Institutional lending partners underwrite and service the loans, and they sit on the lender's balance sheet — not yours, and not Enervee's. Eco Financing is a platform capability, not a lending product.

What happens to customers with thin or damaged credit?

Pricing is risk-based and built to reach customers that retail financing misses, and pre-qualification runs without affecting the customer's credit score. Around one in five Eco Financing customers come from underserved communities, which is the measurable form of an equity mandate rather than a talking point.
