Laybuy will only impact your credit report and score if you fail to keep up with your weekly repayments, which are automatic weekly payments taken from your nominated card.
How do I make a repayment?

- 1st payment: one-sixth of your total on the day of purchase
- 2nd payment: one-sixth of your total 1 week after purchase
- 3rd payment: one-sixth of your total 2 weeks after purchase
