You cannot see your full Afterpay card number. The 16-digit number, expiration date, and CVV are never displayed because the Afterpay card number is securely tokenized and stored only in your digital wallet for security purposes.
Can you see your full Afterpay card number?
No. The full Afterpay virtual card number, including the 16-digit number, expiration date, and CVV, is generally not visible to users for security purposes. Instead of displaying a full card number, the Afterpay Card is securely tokenized. Users typically won't see the full card details like they would with a traditional debit or credit card. It is a common misconception that the full 16-digit Afterpay card number, expiration date, and CVV can be directly viewed within the Afterpay app for general use. If you need a card number for online purchases, you can get a virtual card on Afterpay that works through Apple Pay or Google Pay.
What is the Afterpay Card and how does it work?
The Afterpay Card is a digital card. It is stored in a customer's digital wallet, such as Apple Pay or Google Pay. The Afterpay Card is primarily used for in-store purchases by tapping your phone on a card terminal. It is not a traditional credit card with viewable details. The Afterpay Card does not have a PIN or CVV number. If you are an Afterpay Plus subscriber, you receive a new digital card that automatically replaces your standard Afterpay Card in your digital wallet.
How to set up your Afterpay Card in your digital wallet
To set up the Afterpay Card, follow these steps:
- Open the Afterpay app.
- Tap on the 'In-Store' tab within the app.
- Tap on 'pay in store'.
- Tap on 'setup the card'.
- Tap on 'add to wallet' to add it to your digital wallet.
- Enter the SMS verification code that is sent during the setup process.
To use the Afterpay Card, you need an eligible device and may need to successfully complete eligibility checks upon activating the card.
How to use your Afterpay Card for in-store purchases
When ready to pay in-person, open your phone's digital wallet, select your Afterpay Card, and tap your phone on the card reader. If a store asks for a PIN, the payment method was likely selected as 'credit card'; ask the salesperson to retry and select 'debit card'. This works at many stores that accept Afterpay, making it easy to use your Afterpay Card wherever you shop.
What to do if you still need help
If you encounter any issues with your Afterpay account or transactions, contact Afterpay customer support. They are the only ones who can assist with account verification or troubleshooting for account-specific issues. Customer support may ask for your Afterpay card number to assist you more effectively, but remember that the full number is not visible to you, they can help you resolve any problems directly.
