Karum has provided the Private Label Credit for very large retailers with as many as 15 million accounts and addressed the highly differentiated  credit practices of the world's most demanding department stores.

Let’s build
something together.
Like, say, sales.

The home is your customers single biggest investment. A private label card is your way of laying out the welcome mat for them. A recent study showed that retailers that offer more than four methods of payment show a 20% increase in sales. Customers of your store will benefit, not only from this unique payment method, but also from the special financing or promotions you can offer them. Providing a private label card can help you fulfill on the vision of a customer walking in “looking for a light bulb and walking out with an entire lighting solution.”

More power. More options.
More electricity.
(And that’s just
from the card.)

With the technology in consumer electronics advancing at an unprecedented pace, your customers are presented with an ever changing sea of products. Offering a private label card with promotional financing, for example, expands your customers’ affordable options when looking at televisions, cameras or other desirable appliances. Similarly, offering a variety of payment methods ranging from revolving credit to fixed payment credit, enables your customer to free up their open-to-buy for other purchases. Layer in a points and rewards system and you’ll have loyal, brand aware customers coming back to your stores for additional purchases in no time.
