What is Afterpay?
Afterpay has transformed the way people pay by allowing shoppers to receive products immediately and pay in four instalments over a short period of time. The service is completely free for customers who pay on time - helping customers spend money responsibly, without incurring interest or revolving in extended debt.
Afterpay is offered by some of the world’s best retailers and has millions of active customers globally. Afterpay is currently available in Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. In the United States, Afterpay is called Cash App Afterpay. In the United Kingdom, it’s called Clearpay.
