Founded in 2012, Affirm as a company operates as a financial lender of installment loans for consumers to use at the point of sale to finance a purchase.
San Francisco based Affirm was founded in 2012 by Max Levchin, Nathan Gettings, Jeffrey Kaditz, and Alex Rampell as part of the initial portfolio of startup studio HVF. Affirm lets borrowers take out a microloan (typically a few hundred dollars per transaction) at the point of sale to finance a purchase. The company uses a variety of data about the borrowers, including non-traditional criteria like social media presence, to determine creditworthiness. The terms of the loan, including interest rates which are typically between 6% and 30%, are clearly indicated upfront so there are no surprises for the borrower down the line. Since its founding, Affirm has partnered with e-commerce platforms including Shopify, BigCommerce, and Zen-Cart. The company announced a partnership with Walmart in February 2019. Under the partnership, Affirm is available to customers in store and on the Walmart website.
