Can you use Afterpay to pay your Green Slip?

Green Slip insurance payments can’t be made in instalments using apps like Afterpay. The full price of your Green Slip, or CTP Insurance, needs to be paid in full before your Green Slip can be processed.

Why can’t you offer Afterpay for Green Slips?

All Green Slips are a cash for cover product – meaning insurers require full payment before insurance is taken out. 

Fortunately, your Green Slip payment can still be made online with AAMI Insurance . Our secure payments service accepts any VISA Card, MasterCard, or American Express credit card online.

Other payment options for your CTP Insurance

AAMI makes it easy to pay your CTP Insurance with convenient payment options. You can choose to:

• pay online (with a Visa, MasterCard, or American Express),
• pay over the phone,
• pay at your nearest Australian Post Office – whatever works for you, or
• use Eftpos to make a payment.

Check out all the ways you can pay online for your NSW CTP insurance.

Can you use Afterpay to pay your other bills?

Afterpay was designed as a payment mechanism for online or in-store shopping only. So, while you can use it to make purchases, you can’t use it to pay your bills.

How do ‘buy now, pay later’ services like Afterpay work?

Services like Afterpay allow eligible shoppers to buy now and pay later with no interest, no credit checks, and no fees when payments are made on time. The services are available at thousands of retailers via the Afterpay app and a growing number of other providers.

When you make a purchaseusing a buy-now-pay-later service, your payments are generally split into four instalments . You make an initial down payment against a purchase, then you have about six-weeks to make your remaining payments with most providers.

Some providers don’t specify a minimum required purchase amount. However, you may be subject to purchase requirements set by the retailer you’re buying from.
