About Affirm Stock
Affirm is a financial technology services company that offers installment loans to consumers at the point of sale.

Its users can select Affirm as their payment method at checkout, fill out fields for real-time decisions, choose the payment plan that fits their budget, and process their order. The company also claims to reach a broader population of consumers through technology and analytics that look beyond traditional FICO scores. Affirm makes loans in partnership with originating bank partner Cross River Bank, a New Jersey State Chartered Commercial Bank, Member FDIC.
