When paying with the card, customers can spend their earned Trendyol ParaPuan with a single click on the payment page and make their purchase for free.

     "Purchase in installments" option, which is popular within consumers in inflationary environment is among this card's distinguishing features. It offers an option for interest-free payment in installments on Trendyol purchases. Using QNB Mobile, they can add more installments to their purchase, still interest-free.

    CardFinans Trendyol has no annual credit card fees for customers getting their first credit cards. Existing customers can be exempted from annual fee when they participate in "card statement promise" campaign.
