PayPal Rewards Card

Hardship assistance

We understand that, from time to time, some customers may experience financial difficulties caused by unemployment, injury, illness, a natural disaster, or other unexpected impact on your household income and/or expenses. We are here to support customers during these times.

If your financial circumstances have changed and you are unable to pay your account(s), you can request assistance by completing an Online Hardship Application form. Please ensure you have access to the mobile number you have registered on your credit card account. A code will be sent to authenticate your identity before you can proceed with the application.

Please also have information about your income, expenses, and assets on hand before you commence the application. Once you start filling in your details, you will need to complete the application as you will be unable to save and return to the form at a later stage.
