Q: Are there any interest or fees associated with Affirm loans?

A: Affirm loans vary between 10% and 30% APR simple interest (0% APR is offered at select merchants). The corresponding finance charge is the only fee associated with an Affirm loan - we don’t charge late fees, service fees, prepayment fees, or any other hidden fees. Affirm strives to be more transparent and fair than any other form of financing.

Q: What are my payment options?

A: When you make a purchase of $100 or more with Affirm, you can pay over 3, 6, or 12 months. For purchases between $50.00–$99.99, you can pay over 3 or 6 months. Select merchants may offer different terms, including a 30-day payment option for purchases under $50.

Q: Do I have a credit limit with Affirm?

A: Unlike a credit card, Affirm is not a revolving line of credit. While customers can take out multiple Affirm loans at once, each Affirm loan application is evaluated separately as a closed-end transaction. An application from a returning customer may be denied, however, if that customer has failed to repay other Affirm loans on time or if the customer shows excessive borrowing behavior.

Q: Does Affirm perform a credit check?

A: Yes, when you first create an Affirm account, a ‘soft’ credit check is performed to help verify your identity and determine your eligibility for financing. This ‘soft’ credit check will not affect your credit score.

If you apply for more loans with Affirm, we may perform additional ‘soft’ credit checks to ensure that we offer you the best financing options possible.

Q: Is my personal information safe and secure with Affirm?

A: Yes, protecting your personal information is very important to Affirm. They encrypt sensitive data including Social Security numbers. We also maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect your information. They do not sell or rent your information to anyone.

Q: Why was I prompted for a down payment?

A: Affirm isn't always able to approve financing for the full amount of a purchase. When this happens, you will have the option of using a debit card to pay for the rest of your purchase. Regrettably, the down payment amount can’t be changed.

Q: Why was my purchase with Affirm not approved?

A: While Affirm strives to offer all creditworthy applicants financing, they simply aren’t able to approve every loan application. If Affirm isn't able to approve your application, they will immediately notify you of our decision and denial reason via a secured message.
