Frequently Asked Questions

What is Affirm?

Affirm strives to keep you out of unhealthy debt by offering fair, transparent credit so you can pay over time for the the things you love. Affirm offers affordable monthly payments at a pace you choose—usually 3, 6, 12, 24 or 36 months—so you're in control. From day one, you know how long you'll pay, and you know much you'll pay because Affirm never charges late fees or hidden fees.

Does checking my eligibility affect my credit score?

No—checking your eligibility won't affect your credit score. When you prequalify, you get an estimate of how much you can borrow. You’re not on the hook to pay back your prequalified amount until you actually borrow it. You also don’t have to borrow the full amount.

I was prequalified, but not approved?

Unfortunately, we can’t guarantee you’ll get approved, even if you’re prequalified. That’s because your prequalified amount is an estimate. It may change—or go away—depending on a few different things. This includes your borrowing and payment history at Affirm and elsewhere.

What is the maximum I'm allowed to finance with Affirm?

The maximum amount that can be financed through Affirm is $25,000. Any transactions over that amount would require a down payment.

How do I make my payments?

You can make or schedule payments at affirm.com or in the Affirm app for iOS or Android. Affirm will send you email and text reminders before payments are due.

Can I pay off my purchase early?

Yes! There's no penalty for paying early.

Do I need a mobile number to use Affirm?

Yes, you'll need a mobile phone number from the U.S. or U.S. territories. This helps Affirm verify it's really you who is creating your account and signing in.

Are there any interest or fees associated with Affirm loans?
