Afterpay makes it easier to get into debt for essentials

Earlier this year, Afterpay added “upfront payments” as a requirement for all purchases under $500 at petrol stations and supermarkets. They said this change would promote “responsible spending”.

Afterpay is now removing this requirement – a change they say will encourage “spending responsibly”.
