How to Turn Off Afterpay Automatic Payments?
Afterpay is an Australian payment system that has become extremely popular because of its “Buy Now, Pay Later” services. According to the Roy Morgan Digital Payments Report, 3.4 million Australians (15.2% of the population) use Afterpay, with 21.6% of Australians using BNPL services in 2023.
The company lets customers split payments into multiple interest-free instalments if paid on time and compliant with Terms & Conditions. As Afterpay doesn’t set fees for the service, it earns money by charging merchants a fee per transaction and offering a paid subscription service called Afterpay Plus.
When you use the Afterpay’s services, the company allows you to set automatic payments, for example subscription payments. Therefore, if for some reason, you have decided to cancel all the scheduled transactions, this article is aimed to help you do so!

You have two ways of turning off Afterpay automatic payments, depending on whether you use Afterpay app or prefer their website.

Afterpay Auto-Payments for Gambling
Even though the idea “Play Now, Pay Later” sounds extremely attractive for gamblers, Afterpay does not allow any payments for this activity.
Afterpay allows users to pay 25% at purchase and the remaining 75% over the next three fortnights. While this feature makes it popular, it makes it completely unsuitable for gambling. “Buy Now Pay Later” services are risky because they can cause customers to lose track of their spending, leading to potential debts and financial problems in gambling. Therefore, similarly to the ban on credit cards for online casinos in Australia, BNPL cannot be used at any licensed online casino.
Remember, playing on debt is a cardinal sin, and no one wants to take on that sin! Do not believe articles on the Internet that say otherwise.
