In 2016, credit card issuers in the United States raked in $94.3 billion in fees and $70.4 billion in interest income. The average credit card has 6 fees, with some having as many as 12! Credit is broken and the incentives for banks that issue it are built on business models that profit from hurting consumers and betting on their failure. The future of credit is here and it is not a piece of plastic, it is an app. The Affirm app will serve as a platform for us to deliver even more products that improves lives.

@mlevchin yes, but I meant if it's restricted to citizens or any USA resident with a SSN can apply?

I have been using Affirm for large purchases $500+ from tech/e-commerce companies like Leesa (mattress), Casper (mattress) and Peloton (indoor cycling bike) with no interest and it's been awesome!

Pros:

Easy to use, affordable microloans for purchases

Cons:

Wish it was accepted in more places!
