Is the AstroPay Card a credit card?

No — the AstroPay Card is prepaid, not credit.
This means:

  • You can only use it if you have available balance in your AstroPay account.

  • The full amount is deducted instantly from your balance.

  • It does not allow installments or generate monthly bills.

How It Works

  • When you make a purchase, the amount is immediately deducted from your balance.

  • If you don’t have enough balance, the payment will be declined.

  • At physical POS machines, it’s processed as “credit” but functions as a prepaid card.
