What type of financing does Affirm offer?

With options that allow you to control your budget, Affirm provides the option for 3, 6, or 12 monthly payments and rates from 10-30% APR based on your credit. Actual rates will be shown at checkout.

Does Affirm perform a credit check?

To verify your identity and provide you with a financing offer when you sign up, Affirm does a ‘soft’ credit check that does not affect your credit score. If you choose to complete a purchase and finance it with Affirm, they will do a single ‘hard’ credit check when your first order is processed. This may have a minor impact on your credit score. Future purchases with Affirm will not require additional ‘hard’ credit checks

Do I have a credit limit with Affirm?

Affirm has no fixed credit limit. They underwrite each loan individually taking into account the merchant, items purchased, and other information available at the time of purchase. Customers can take out multiple Affirm loans at once, as each Affirm loan application is evaluated separately as a closed-end transaction.

Does Affirm charge any fees or interest?

Affirm charges a small finance charge when you split your purchase into multiple payments. They will always clearly state the cost of the finance charge in terms of real dollars ($) and an Annual Percentage Rate (APR) so that you can know exactly what you’re paying. Affirm never charges any compounding interest and there are no hidden fees.

Why was I prompted to pay a down payment with a debit card?

Unfortunately, Affirm is not always able to approve the full amount of your order. If this happens, they will provide a debit card down payment option so that you may still complete your purchase right away.

Why was I prompted for a checking account?

To consider a credit application, Affirm sometimes requires additional information. This may include requesting an active checking account number, which helps them verify your identity and your ability to repay the requested loan. If Affirm prompts you for this information, but you are unable to provide it, Affirm will be unable to approve your credit application.

How do I open an account with Affirm?

After selecting the items you would like to purchase, you can apply for an account with Affirm in our checkout process.
