We started a movement in which everyone can win – shoppers,
retailers, society and every person on our team. To play
fair, trust people and reward them for doing the right thing.
We see and feel the impact of our work as more and more
people gain financial freedom and retailers grow across the
globe. Founded 10 years ago in Sydney, Australia, Afterpay
has over 24 million active customers globally and more than
250,000 of the best retailers around the world including
Anthropologie, Revolve, DSW, GOAT, Finish Line, Levi’s, Mac
Cosmetics, Ray-Ban and many others. Afterpay is helping
people spend responsibly! We empower customers to access the
things they want and need, while still allowing them to
maintain financial wellness and control, by splitting payments
in four, for both online and in-store purchases. Afterpay is
deeply committed to delivering positive outcomes for
customers. Now under the Block ecosystem, we are focused on
supporting our community of shoppers. We trust in the next
generation and share a vision of a more accessible and
sustainable world in which people are rewarded for doing the
right thing. Join a movement in which everyone can win.
