Afterpay is becoming the naming rights partner of Australia's most iconic indoor arena. Today, we announced a landmark five-year partnership that will see Qudos Bank Arena become Afterpay Arena - and we want to tell you why. Since opening in 1999, this arena has been the beating heart of Australian live entertainment. 15 million tickets sold. Pavarotti to Billie Eilish, Linkin Park to Rüfüs Du Sol. It's where Australia shows up for the moments that matter. Live experiences are one of the most meaningful ways people choose to spend their time. We wanted to be the brand that makes sure nothing gets in the way of that. This partnership is the Block ecosystem made real, at scale. Afterpay's Pay in Four removes the upfront cost barrier at the point of ticket purchase. Square's POS and payments platform then powers food, beverage, and merchandise transactions inside the venue - because as our Co-founder and CEO Nick Molnar puts it, "every second you're standing in line is a second you're not in the moment you came for." One seamless experience. Two products. 1.1 million fans a year.  Afterpay Arena officially launches later this year - watch this space.

Great customer experiences are built by removing friction at every step. Oz Hair and Beauty has always believed professional haircare should feel welcoming, not exclusive. By pairing expert advice and premium products with flexible payments, they’ve made it easier for customers to say yes at checkout. That mindset is paying off. Today, one in six Oz Hair & Beauty customers chooses Afterpay, and those customers spend 10% more on average. For Co-owner and COO Guy Nappa, the reason is simple: “Afterpay is incredibly customer-friendly … [and] it’s a tool that helps people manage their cash flow.” As more shoppers move away from traditional credit cards, offering Buy Now Pay Later has become a baseline expectation. In fact, Oz Hair & Beauty sees Afterpay not just as a payment method, but as a growth engine, driving higher basket sizes, stronger conversion, and meaningful new customer acquisition through the Afterpay Shop Directory and Afterpay Day.

Afterpay's customer service left me hanging on a frozen account. Not a great look.
