Will using Afterpay affect my credit score in any way?
No, using Afterpay does not directly affect your credit score in most situations, as they do not perform a credit check for account setup. Afterpay starts new users with a low spending limit that increases gradually with on-time payments. However, a credit check may occur if you apply for a higher spending limit under certain circumstances. Missing payments generally do not harm your credit score, as Afterpay prioritises responsible spending by pausing accounts to help prevent further issues.
