Affirm is a financial technology services company that offers installment loans to consumers at the point of sale. The company’s product allows consumers to buy goods or services offered by online merchants and pay off those purchases in fixed monthly payments, with an APR based on a consumer's credit check. 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.
Affirm was incorporated in 2012 and is based in San Francisco, California.

How to invest in Affirm stock?
Accredited investors can buy pre-IPO stock in companies like Affirm through EquityZen funds. These investments are made available by existing Affirm shareholders who sell their shares on our platform. Typically, these are early employees who need to fund a life event – house, education, etc. Accredited investors are then offered the opportunity to invest in this stock through a fund, like those used by hedge funds serving large investors. While not without risk, investing in private companies can help investors reach goals of portfolio diversification, access to potential growth and high potential return. Learn more about our Guided Investment process here.

If I invest, how do I exit my investment?
There are two ways to exit your private company investment on EquityZen's marketplace. The first is if the company has an exit event like an IPO, merger or acquisition. In that case, we will distribute the shares and/or cash to you directly. The second way is through an Express Deal on EquityZen, if eligible. An Express Deal allows you to sell your allocation of private shares in a given private company to another investor on EquityZen's marketplace. More information on Express Deals can be found here and exit information can be found here.
