Google Pixel 2 with Google Finance?!

[Android Central Question]

Will this impact my credit score if i do the finance option for 24 months? Since its a balance sitting in synchrony bank... will my credit score go down if i pay it monthly?

re:

It could have a positive impact if you make regular on-time payments.

re:

Financing will likely require a hard credit pull. That will reduce your score 5-10 points. Depending on the reporting agency, your score should bounce back after the credit check falls off. As long as you don't miss any payments it shouldn't affect your score any further and it might even increase once the loan is paid off.

I bought mine outright purely because I like my score, so I can't give any exact numbers on the above.

It will if you have to open the account (as in never had a Google Financing Account) before since they will have to run your credit. Otherwise it is like using your credit card.
