The company also offers the Affirm Card, a debit card that allows users to request to pay over time for larger purchases or pay in full for smaller ones. Affirm partners with various retailers across multiple categories, including electronics, apparel, and travel, providing customers with the convenience of paying over time at checkout both online and in physical stores. Affirm's services are integrated with Apple Pay, enabling customers to make payments seamlessly from their iPhone or iPad.
