Pay over time with Afterpay for past purchases

What is Pay over time with Afterpay for past purchases?

Pay over time with Afterpay is a Cash App product that lets you turn an eligible Cash App Card purchase into a loan after making the purchase. 

Once you choose to convert a purchase, the loan amount will be instantly added to your Cash balance. You can use the funds for other transactions or expenses and have the flexibility to pay for your purchase over time, helping your money go further.

This product is offered and managed through your Cash App account—no separate Afterpay account is needed. Your pay over time loans cannot be accessed or serviced through Afterpay. Loans are issued by First Electronic Bank. For any questions, reach out to Cash App support.
