We’re always looking for ways to enhance the experience of our Afterpay customers. To support this, we’re updating our Terms of Service.
The updated Terms of Service will be effective for all Afterpay customers on 1 March 2021. By continuing to use your Afterpay account on and from this date, you are agreeing to the updated Terms of Service.
Updates to the Afterpay Terms of Service include:
- Restructuring the layout of the terms so they are easier to read
- Updating our terms to incorporate both our existing product features and new features to come (e.g. launch of Afterpay Card in-store)
- Updates to reflect our customer commitments as part of the new Code of Practice for Buy Now Pay Later Providers
- Better explaining our process to customers when they have questions or need assistance with their Afterpay purchases
- Making it clear that the only fees which may apply are late fees
- Updates to accurately reflect our ongoing processes
To find out more, you can read our full updated Terms of Service here and also our FAQs below.

I’m an existing Afterpay customer and created my account before 1 March 2021. What do I need to do to continue using my Afterpay account?
All of our existing Afterpay customers will be asked to read and accept the updated Terms of Service on 1 March 2021 before continuing to use their Afterpay account. By continuing to use your Afterpay account on and from this date, you are agreeing to the updated Terms of Service. If you do not agree to the updated Terms of Service, we will provide you with information on how to close your Afterpay account and manage any outstanding payments/orders you have.
