RENTAL SCHEME
As time progresses, rental schemes have slowly become the choice of today’s consumers. Through a rental scheme, customers are able to enjoy Coway products such as water purifiers, air purifiers and bidet system at a fixed monthly rental fee. After five years, customers are entitled to the right to obtain the product ownership or renew the lease. With this scheme, not only does Coway help make quality living affordable for you, it also helps to build consumer trust and brand confidence.
