What is Affirm, and how does it work?

Affirm is a "buy now, pay later" (BNPL) service that allows customers to split purchases into manageable payments instead of paying the full amount upfront. Customers can receive an instant approval decision without impacting their credit score and agree to a transparent payment schedule with no hidden fees.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

Does Affirm affect my credit score?

Affirm may perform a soft credit check when you apply, which does not impact your credit score. In some cases, your payment history may be reported to credit bureaus.

For full details, visit Affirm’s official site.

 

Why was I denied?

Approval decisions are made solely by Affirm. Factors may include:

  • Credit history
  • Payment history with Affirm
  • Purchase amount
  • Current financial profile

We’re unable to see the reason for a denial.

 

When do I make my first payment?

Your first payment is typically due one month after your purchase, depending on the plan you select.

Can I pay off my loan early?
