Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

I've been a loyal Afterpay customer for years, but recently I've been restricted from purchasing gift cards despite paying off several orders. Customer service couldn't provide a valid reason, which is disappointing as I planned to use Afterpay for a special occasion.

I used Afterpay for a purchase, but the transaction went on my bank card instead of the split payment plan. Neither Afterpay nor the support team could help, indicating a programming issue within the app.
vkm416
Afterpay was my go-to for safe transactions without entering my card info directly, but now I feel more restricted. The app's special offers feel like subscription traps, and it's disappointing compared to competitors like Klarna and Affirm.
