But given the fees and potential interest that Zip charges, you'll be better off financially if you contact your utility provider directly and organise a payment plan or extension with them. Investigate all of your options before paying your bills through Zip. The online application and approval process is pretty quick. Zip can authenticate a lot of your personal details by linking with your Facebook, LinkedIn or Paypal accounts, but you will also need to provide your mobile number, bank details and other financial or identity documents.
Limits are determined after successful application and you may not be granted the full limit you apply for. They claim they conduct a credit and identity assessment, including a credit check and real-time bank verifications on both Zip Pay and Zip Money applications. This will help them determine if you can afford to use the service and is better than putting the full responsibility on the consumer as Afterpay does, however it's possible to fall into a debt trap with any BNPL service, regardless of credit check procedures.
Zip Pay swaps interest charges for flat fees. There's no monthly fee if you have no balance owing at the end of the month. Zip Money on the other hand does charge interest. It's classified as a continuing line of credit, more like a credit card, and currently offers an interest-free period of three months, and promotional periods between six and 48 months depending on where you shop.
After this a hefty interest rate of Add this to your high interest rate and things are starting to get expensive. If you don't think you can pay off your items in the interest-free time period you might be better off with a low-interest credit card or personal loan. Or better yet, saving the money up in advance if it's a non-essential item. With high fees and high interest, Zip Money has the potential to spiral out of control if you get into financial strife, especially if your circumstances change.
Zip does have a hardship policy if you can't make your repayments due to changes in your financial situation, but because of the lack of regulation of BNPL products, BNPL hardship policies are generally weak in comparison to those offered by banks. If you default on your repayments, Zip may report you to the relevant credit reporting body and this can negatively affect your credit score. Depending on your circumstances, Zip may grant temporary solutions such as postponement of payments, loan variations or a moratorium.
If you do get into trouble financially make sure you get in contact with Zip right away. You can also contact with the National Debt Helpline and speak to an independent financial counsellor for free.
Yes — both Zip Pay and Zip Money perform a third-party background credit check using Equifax or Illion when you apply. If you default on your repayments, Zip may report you to the relevant credit reporting body and this will negatively affect your credit score.
Products like Zip Pay and Afterpay make spending money you don't yet have even easier. Saving up before a purchase is still the best way to go. While some people find BNPL services helpful tools for budgeting, they all come with financial risks, they're overwhelmingly used for non-essential purchases, and we think they normalise debt. One of the concerns with these types of platforms is that a line of credit may be granted to people who may not otherwise qualify for a credit card due to their financial situation.
If you're financially vulnerable, in part-time or casual work, or on a low income, debt can easily spiral out of control. There's also nothing to stop shoppers from signing up to multiple BNPL schemes, over-committing and struggling to make repayments. According to ASIC, two in five people who buy through BNPL schemes are low-income earners and of these, two in five are students or part-time workers — all people who are potentially financially vulnerable, making these products a risky choice for them.

Zip Zap Tips and Updates Policy 1. In most cases, addresses in close proximity to each other are grouped in the same ZIP code which gives the appearance that ZIP codes are defined by a clear geographic boundary.
However, some ZIP codes have nothing to do with geogaphic areas. When ZIP codes appear to be geographically grouped, a clear shape cannot always be drawn around the ZIP code because ZIP codes are only assigned to a point of delivery and not the spaces between delivery points. In areas without a regular postal route or no mail delivery, ZIP codes may not be defined or have unclear boundaries. The main issue is discussed above: there simply isn't always a clear geographic boundary for a ZIP code.
The Census Bureau and many other commercial services will try to interpolate the data to create polygons shapes using straight lines to represent the approximate area covered by a ZIP code, but none of these maps are official or entirely accurate. They provide a very close approximation of the area covered by a ZIP code. You can easily notice some of the boundary issues when viewing our maps. Very rural areas aren't labeled as belonging to a ZIP code such as much of Nevada and Utah where there are few, if any, addresses to deliver mail.
If the address is on the same street as a ZIP code boundary on the map, be sure to search for the full street address to determine the ZIP code instead of relying on the map.
Their purpose is to convey statistical data about regions that are familiar to most citizens. As discussed above, it is difficult to precisely define a geographic area covered by a ZIP code. ZCTAs were developed to account for some of the difficulties in assigning an area to a ZIP code and to precisely define a geographic area.
In general, they are updated once every 10 years for the Census. The Census assigns an area to a ZCTA according to census blocks the smallest geographic unit used by the census. Imagine a city block that makes up a typical census block as pictured to the right. It is bounded on all 4 sides by portions of city streets that each have their own name and addresses.
The issue is that census blocks almost always split down the middle of the street.
