Shop with confidence

Whether you’re buying a couch or paying movers you found online, Vault Pay Purchase Protection offers coverage for eligible payments without extra costs for you. So go ahead and buy. Vault Pay has your back.

Get what you paid for

If what you bought isn't delivered, arrives broken, or is just plain wrong, let us know. Vault Pay Purchase Protection can help make it right. We'll reimburse you for qualifying purchases plus original shipping costs.

Eligible purchases are protected in the app

Before you send your payment, tap the toggle in the app to tell Vault Pay that you're paying for a good or service. Purchase Protection can be applied for eligible items, and the seller pays a small transaction fee.

Don't worry. Shop happy.

When you shop in stores with your Vault Pay Debit Card, pay a Vault business profile, or use your Vault Pay account when making an in-app purchase or scanning a QR-code at checkout, your eligible purchases can be covered by Purchase Protection — no toggle needed. All so you can shop and pay with confidence.
