FAQ:
Does Affirm do a credit check, and how does it impact my credit score?

How does Affirm approve borrowers for loans?

Affirm uses this information to verify your identity and to make an instant loan decision. Affirm will base its loan decision not only on your credit score,but also on several other data points about you. This means you may be able to obtain financing from Affirm even if don’t have an extensive credit history.
How is interest on an Affirm loan calculated?
Affirm calculates the annual percentage rate (APR) of a loan using simple interest, which equals the rate multiplied by the loan amount and by the number of months the loan is outstanding. This is different from compound interest, often found on credit card loans in which the interest expense is calculated on the loan amount and also the accumulated interest on the loan from previous periods. You can think about compound interest as “interest on interest,” which can make the your loan amount grow larger and larger. Since Affirm does not use compound interest, it makes Affirm an affordable and reliable financing option.
Can I pay off my loan at any time?
