Afterpay
Thinking about signing up to Afterpay? This is everything you need to know about the interest-free payments provider, including whether it affects your credit score and all the fees you should expect to pay.
I had a personal loan applied for that wasn’t done by myself and now is effecting my credit score. How do I have this removed?
Hi Paul,
If you want to complain about a transaction on your credit report, you should contact the relevant credit provider or credit reporting body. They must acknowledge your complaint within 7 days. They are required to make a decision about the complaint within 30 days. They may request evidence or supporting documentation to show that the loan was taken out without your permission. Best of luck!
Hi
My husband and I are about to get our home renovated and we spoke with a flooring company who are working with Open Pay.
Flooring renovation will cost us around $10000 and i am wondering if the credit limit is available in open pay and what will be the payment scheduled please.
I couldn’t find this information on Open Pay website.
Thanks. Shina
Hi Shina,
Thanks for contacting Finder.
Openpay has a credit limit and the credit limit is disclosed to you after you have been approved. Credit Limit details can also be found directly at Openpay’s website. For the repayment schedule, after selecting Openpay as your payment method, you’ll receive an instant decision from the app and, once approved, you’ll be responsible for making the agreed repayments every two weeks. Repayments are automatically deducted as scheduled from your linked Visa or Mastercard. You can also make a payment early through the Openpay app.
I hope this helps.
Kind Regards,
Faye
Hi how long do you get to pay it back thanks
Hi Leanne,
Thanks for your inquiry.
The good thing about Openpay is that they let you choose the repayment plan. At the point of purchase, Openpay will give you several repayment schedule options. You can choose the repayment plan best suited to you. Unless you specifically choose to pay cash, check or money order, Openpay will automatically deduct the agreed repayment every two weeks from your linked Visa or Mastercard. You won’t have to worry about missing payments since they send out reminders before your scheduled repayments. To add, you’re able to make early repayments at no extra cost.
Hope this was helpful. Don’t hesitate to message us back if you have more questions.
With care,
Nikki

Hello! I was wondering why is there a credit limit when you still have to use your own money?
Hi Daniel,
Thank you for reaching out.
Openpay is a pay now pay later scheme. Openpay works like a credit card where you purchase items without having to pay outright. Credit limit set to make sure that users are able to commit to their repayments and just spend on what you can pay. Once the installment plan is set, Openpay will direct debit the payments on the chosen schedule.
Hope this helps! 😊
Kind Regards,
Mai
