Affirm finances purchases for shoppers and runs a payment network that lets retailers add installment plans to online and in-store checkout. Its partnership with Shopify powers Shop Pay Installments, while the Affirm Card lets eligible users choose to pay in full or split a purchase into payments. Customers apply at checkout or through the app, choose an approved payment schedule, and track their balances and repayments in one place. The business earns fees from merchants and interest on some loans, and also sells loans to investors and earns fees for servicing them. Affirm was founded in 2012 and has its headquarters in San Francisco, California.
