What Is Progressive Leasing?

A smarter way to shop with Progressive Leasing when traditional credit isn't an option

Progressive Leasing is a lease-to-own program that helps millions of Americans acquire the things they need — from a new mattress to a laptop — without a traditional credit card or bank loan. Instead of borrowing money, you lease the item and make small, predictable payments until you own it.

Because Progressive Leasing does not require a FICO score, it's especially useful for shoppers who are rebuilding credit, new to credit, or simply prefer a fixed monthly cost over revolving debt. Approval decisions are based on your income, banking history, and a soft inquiry — not a hard credit pull.

  • No FICO score required. Approval uses income and banking history — not your credit report.
  • Flexible payment schedule. Choose weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly based on when you get paid.
  • Early purchase discount. Save with the 90-day payoff option — pay cash price plus your first payment.
  • No long-term obligation. Return the merchandise anytime to end the lease without further payments.

How Progressive Leasing Works

How Progressive Leasing works — from application to ownership in 4 steps

The entire process is designed to feel like checkout — not a bank loan. Most shoppers complete every step in under 10 minutes.

Prequalify online

Fill in your name, address, income, and bank details. A soft inquiry — no impact to your FICO score — decides your lease amount instantly.

Shop at 30,000+ stores

Use Progressive Leasing in-store or online. Show your approval code at checkout to lease furniture, electronics, tires, mattresses, and more.

Choose your payments

Pick weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly payments that match your paycheck. Standard leases run 12 months with automatic payments from your bank.

Own it — or return it

Pay off within 90 days for the biggest savings, complete the standard lease, or return the item any time to end the agreement early.

Why Shoppers Choose Progressive

Six reasons Progressive Leasing beats traditional credit

If a traditional credit card feels risky or out of reach, these are the practical advantages of leasing.

60-second prequalification

A soft inquiry returns your approval amount in about a minute. No wondering, no waiting, and no risk to your credit score.

No FICO score needed

Approvals rely on your income and banking history — a lifeline for shoppers who are rebuilding credit or completely new to it.

Save with 90-day payoff

Pay off within 90 days and you'll pay only the cash price plus your initial payment — the most cost-effective way to lease.

Bank-level security

Your data is encrypted end-to-end. Progressive Leasing meets SOC 2 standards and never shares your information without consent.

Flexible payment cadence

Sync your payments to your paycheck — weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly — from any active US checking account.

Enormous store network

Over 30,000 retailers — from Big Lots to Ashley Furniture, Best Buy partners, mattress stores, tire shops, and jewelers.

Real Shopper Stories

What real shoppers say about Progressive Leasing

Reviews collected from Trustpilot, Google, and the Better Business Bureau.

"After my identity was stolen, my credit was shot. Progressive Leasing let me furnish my new apartment when nobody else would. Paid it off in 87 days and only paid the sticker price."

Danielle M.Houston, TX · Furniture lease

"The application literally took 90 seconds. I had a new washer and dryer set delivered the next day. Bi-weekly payments made it invisible in my budget."

Ricardo T.Phoenix, AZ · Appliance lease

"Great option for building up my apartment after a rough year. Just make sure you read the agreement — 12 months of payments does add up if you don't do early payoff."

Read all FAQs →

Does Progressive Leasing check my credit?

Progressive Leasing does not require a traditional FICO credit score for approval. They use their own decisioning system that reviews checking-account history, income, and public records — approvals are common even for shoppers with limited or damaged credit.

How much does Progressive Leasing cost in total?

The total cost depends on your lease term. Paying off within the 90-day early purchase window is the cheapest option — you pay the cash price plus a small initial payment. Standard 12-month leases typically cost roughly two times the retail price when paid on schedule.

Where can I shop with Progressive Leasing?

Progressive Leasing is accepted at more than 30,000 retail locations across the United States and Puerto Rico, covering furniture, mattresses, electronics, appliances, jewelry, tires, wheels, mobile phones, and eyewear.

What is the 90-day early purchase option?

If you pay the cash price of the item plus your initial payment within 90 days of signing the lease, you own it outright with no additional cost. This is the most affordable way to use Progressive Leasing.

Can I return the item if I change my mind?

Yes. Because Progressive Leasing is a lease-to-own agreement — not a loan — you can return the merchandise at any time and end the lease with no long-term obligation, subject to the terms of your specific agreement.

Will Progressive Leasing help me build credit?

Progressive Leasing does not report to the three major credit bureaus in the same way as a traditional lender, so timely payments won't build your FICO score. However, it also means missed payments won't automatically damage your credit report either.
