How we keep you safe from fraud
As a responsible lender, we’re continually investing in new technology and intelligence software. This helps to secure our platforms, identify fraud and protect you and your account.
Keeping your account safe:
1. Secure set-up:
We carry out thorough identity checks on everyone who signs up to Laybuy. 
If we identify an unauthorised purchase or an instance of fraud we immediately suspend your account until we can confirm your identity.
2. Constant monitoring:
We carefully track shopping behaviours and login activity to quickly identify anomalies that relate to fraud. 
What should you do if someone else has used your Laybuy account?
Let us know as soon as you can via this form.

Please get in touch within 45 days from the date the charge first appears on your credit card, bank statement or Laybuy statement.

We’ll investigate the activity on your account and if we can confirm you have been a victim of fraud we’ll refund the amount you were charged for the unauthorised purchase. You will still be responsible for paying any late fees incurred before the fraudulent purchases.

When you contact us, please have on hand as much info as possible about the order (for example, retailer name, date of purchase, order number, description of the goods, payment method used, and/or the date when the purchase first appeared on your credit card or bank statement).
How to protect yourself online
Keep yourself safe with these tips and resources:
  • Avoid using public WiFi.
  • Use a unique password for each of your online logins.
  • A password is more secure if it has at least 8-10 characters and includes an upper and lower case letter, a number and a special character.
  • Use a password management tool like 1Password
    or LastPass.
  • Do not share your login details with anyone.
  • Sign up to a service like Clearscore Protect or Experian Identity Theft to get personalised alerts on password breaches.
