Fraud protection

Afterpay monitors transactions to identify fraudulent trends and behaviours, to help keep customers safe.

If a customer suspects a fraudulent charge, there is opportunity to raise a report. Once a report is lodged, Afterpay will cover refunds related to unauthorised charges and cover non-merchandise chargebacks related to lost / stolen cards.

Multi-factor

authentication

Multi-factor authentication

Afterpay has a multi-factor authentication system in place to ensure your account is secure. This involves an SMS verification process when logging in and using the Afterpay product.

It is important to keep your contact details up to date for this reason. To update your details, please visit the account settings page under ‘My Afterpay’ tab in the Afterpay app.

Protecting your information

Afterpay uses encryption to protect customer information. The internet browser padlock icon indicates when you are using Afterpay, all communications between your computer and phone and our services are secure.

We make use of in-transit and at-rest encryption for all our customer data in order to keep you safe.
