5  David  · Very quick and helpful response for my approval thankyou from David
5  EdC  · The app is helpful. Applying for Zip credit is easy. Credit costs aren’t too bad but relative for the ease of access to funds.
5  Fred Flower  · I had a mix up with my payments, I contacted Zip and only needed to contact the correct department once and the problem was solved within the hour
5  Debbie S.  · Everyone was very helpful and understanding when I requested my account be re-activated. Thank you to all concerned
5  Maria  · Adbul was able to help me and send me what I requested with no drama and promptly.
1  Troy.B  · Impossible to remove yourself from their mailing list. Several years and complaints later, I still get regular emails. Bordering on harassment.

No words can express how grateful I am to have Zip Visa by my side and payments I can afford and adjust to suit my cash flow. The best service provider also when there are transaction issues and you need help they are there to resolve them. Show reply

I would stay away from Zip as far as I could. I was a customer years ago, paid off and closed my account and recently decided to reopen it, and that's where the issues started. I had to contact them because of the loop I was going in, and had to wait days for a response to be told try again. Have tried again, filled out the application and the… Read more

only thing I've received is an "Your application has been cancelled" email. No other details, no insights, no provide us with more information, just that it has been cancelled. I remember why I closed my account all that time ago. If you need this type of service, do yourself a favour and stay away from this company.

Very useful service - easy to use and helpful. Worth a thought if you are planning some expenditure - large or small.

 Follow-up  · Rather a disappointing follow up comment. I have been with ZIP now for a number of years. I was asked if I wanted to increase my limit (by $2k). I did the paper work only to be told I wasn't "suitable". No real reasons why, just apply again later. I contacted them to ask why and didn't really get a good answer. Credit rating - good. Payments -… Read more

I have been using ZIP for a few years now & find it incredibly stress free, undemanding & easy to use plus I love the freedom ZIP offers customers to personally choose when (eg. date) & how much (eg. amount) + timeframe (eg. weekly, fortnightly, monthly etc) they would like to make repayments over time. This is simply amazing & such a great… Read more ·  1

advantage for anyone to choose ZIP. ZIP is defiantly the best "buy now pay later" option available. I appreciate how ZIP don't hound you aggressively like others & show you respect at all times. If you show them the same respect & pay in a timely manner they increase your credit as a reward if you need an increase over time. I will be sticking with ZIP for as long as they will have me. Thank you

I’ve had a really difficult few years. First, I developed Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) and was paralysed, having to fight my way back to being able to walk again. Then my ex-husband suffered a heart attack, and shortly afterwards, we separated. I’m now a single mum raising two boys, and I’ve had to leave my family home and start again. I’m doing… Read more

everything I can to get back on my feet and rebuild my life.

I have evidence to support everything I’ve been through, but unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to be enough for Zip Pay/Money. They still want their money, and they want it immediately.

I understand that repayments have to be made, and I’m doing what I can to meet my obligations. But hardship isn’t something you can always predict, and sometimes you simply can’t afford to pay what you normally would.

What concerns me is that even when you are making payments you can afford, they can still overdraw your account when the full repayment isn’t available. That can make an already difficult financial situation even harder.

If you’re considering using these services, just be careful and make sure you understand what can happen if you experience financial hardship. It’s easy to use these services when everything is going well, but when life changes unexpectedly, the consequences can be incredibly stressful.

i had a dispute due to the merchants error and the dispute team at ZIP were so professional and extremely helpful. This was sorted within weeks with very good communication from the ZIP team keeping me informed if the progress

 Follow-up  · unfortunately ZIP did not follow through with the solution they offered despite several emails from me. The standard answer has been that they are waiting for the merchant. I’m extremely disappointed in the lack if action and am now paying interest on what was supposed to 24 months interest free. NOT HAPPY

 Follow-up  · ZIP offered me a solution but did not follow up and so now i am paying interest on a purchase that was supposed to be 24 months interest free. They keep sending me emails asking me for more information. They have already got all the information over the past 10 weeks. No communication between their departments. Very dissatisfied customer

I love being able to afford things that I want, and can pay it off with my Zip pay. I have been so lucky to be able to afford emergency payments with Zip pay. I just want to thank you for all your help with Christmas and grandchildren’s birthdays. I have had been a customer for many years and I do not know what I would do without your payment plans being so affordable. Show reply

Words can’t tell how I feel about ZIp pay. It’s a life saver when credit is so hard these days to secure. No interest and no monthly small fee if balance is cleared by month end or you vary to a repayment as low as $40 /m mth. My suggestion is to pay a little each week of any funds you have left and you shall find those funds on your account to… Read more ·  1

spend again when needed. The app is so easy to use and your virtual visa card can be used directly or on Apple pay/ Google pay/ Paypal you name it. It’s a must get as a back up and enjoy the benefits.

ZIP MONEY AUSTRALIA REVIEWS: Warning About Hidden Fees, Interest and Deceptive Tactics I am sharing my experience to protect the Australian community from Zip's deceptive practices. Before using this service, I explicitly did my due diligence and called their team to confirm there would be NO hidden fees or interest charges. I was assured there… Read more

were none.

Verbal communication and corporate transparency are just as legally and ethically binding as any document. However, Zip completely omitted the real costs during that initial phone call to secure my sign-up. This is a deliberate tactic: they rely on an intentionally overwhelming volume of digital paperwork so that everyday people cannot read through it all, burying the trap where no one can easily see it.

I discovered the shocking reality of how they stack up hidden charges. On top of my regular monthly payment of $230, they are charging me an extra $37 in interest PLUS an additional $10 monthly account fee. This means I am being forced to pay nearly $50 extra every single month on top of my agreed payment. While I was aware of the standard $10 monthly fee, I was strictly assured that interest would only apply as a penalty if I missed a payment. Instead, they are charging me massive interest even though I pay perfectly on time every single month.

To make matters worse, their customer service is a nightmare. Their automated system claims a standard 15-minute wait, but I was forced to wait on the line for exactly 38 minutes just to get a human to answer, not including the lengthy conversation that followed just to be completely dismissed.

When confronted via email, their resolution team hid behind the "fine print" and completely ignored the fact that their representative misled me over the phone. They even tried to quiet me down by offering a mere $100 goodwill credit to sweep this under the rug, which I accepted strictly under protest, but it does not cover the ongoing financial damage caused by their lack of transparency.

Hiding life-altering interest fees and monthly account fees in walls of text while omitting the truth on sales calls is an absolute ethical failure. Furthermore, this crucial information about extra fees, high commissions, and ongoing monthly charges is nowhere to be clearly found in their public marketing, their mobile applications, or their website—all of which I audited thoroughly before making my initial call.

The actual breakdown of this trap is buried at the very bottom of a welcome email in a font so incredibly small that it is barely readable and nearly impossible to understand. They write it in a highly manipulative and confusing way so that people believe that if they pay on time, they will not face interest fees. The dark reality is that even if you pay flawlessly on time every single month, they will still stack up and charge you these massive interest fees regardless.

If Zip’s management and executive team want to prove they have any corporate integrity left, they need to acknowledge the deceptive design of their documentation and waive these unfair interest charges and fees immediately.

Until then, I will not only ensure this specific review stays highly visible across all Australian consumer platforms, but I will also continuously post additional reviews and comments across different forums and social networks to make sure the public remains fully informed about how this company operates.

POTENTIAL CLIENTS:

DO NOT TRUST WHAT THEY PROMISE YOU OVER THE PHONE. LOOK AT THE REAL NUMBERS BEFORE YOU SIGN UP.

PLEASE DEMAND FINAL, REAL NUMBERS OF EXACTLY WHAT YOU WILL PAY MONTHLY. DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING, DO NOT ACCEPT ANYTHING WITHOUT HAVING THIS. YOU WILL THANK ME LATER.
