Stay Ahead in Retail with Trek Financing & Ascend
In retail, price tags can feel like roadblocks — especially for big-ticket items. That’s where financing comes in. Offering flexible payment options helps more customers say yes to the products they really want, without hesitation.
It’s not just about moving inventory. It’s about making shopping more accessible, building trust, and turning interest into action.
How financing can help
When customers can spread payments over time, they’re more likely to buy higher-end products, add-on accessories, and come back for more. That’s why offering financing isn’t just a nice-to-have — it’s a smart sales tool.
Ascend makes it easy with built-in support for Trek Financing, powered by Citizens Pay. The process is quick, clear, and integrated right into your POS workflow, so you don’t have to bounce between systems.

Access credit decisioning in real-time
