No, paying Afterpay on time generally does not increase your credit score in the US because they typically don't report positive payment history to major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion), meaning it doesn't help build credit like a credit card; however, missed payments might be reported, and checks for higher limits can appear as soft or hard inquiries, which could affect your score.
