Affirm

Affirm is a buy now, pay later service that lets you split purchases into installment payments instead of paying upfront. When you use Affirm at checkout, you borrow money to complete the transaction and repay it over weeks or months. Understanding how Affirm works—what it costs, how payments are scheduled, and what happens if you miss one—matters if you're considering this payment method for online or in-store purchases.

The articles here explain how Affirm charges interest and fees, what to expect during the application process, how to manage your payment schedule, and what options you have if you run into trouble with a payment. You'll also find information about how Affirm reports to credit bureaus and how it compares to other payment methods like credit cards or traditional loans.
