About Affirm Holdings, Inc.
About Affirm Holdings, Inc.
Affirm processed $36.7 billion in gross merchandise volume for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, across approximately 377,000 active merchants, with 94% of transactions driven by repeat consumers—up from 92% in fiscal 2024. Three loan products structure the offering: Pay-in-X short-term 0% APR installments (14% of GMV), 0% APR monthly installments (13% of GMV), and interest-bearing monthly installments (72% of GMV). The platform also facilitates the Affirm Card, a debit card enabling pay-over-time through a card-issuing bank partnership.
Affirm earns merchant fees—larger on 0% APR products where the merchant subsidizes the financing cost—and interest income on interest-bearing loans the company retains or purchases. Loans originate primarily through Celtic Bank and Lead Bank under program agreements; Celtic Bank's agreement auto-renews annually after an initial three-year term that expired in 2023, while Lead Bank's initial three-year term expires in 2026. Affirm Card interchange revenue flows through Evolve Bank & Trust, the sole card-issuing partner at the end of fiscal 2025, with Stride Bank contracted as an additional issuing bank under a five-year agreement expiring in 2030. Capital is recycled through four channels—warehouse credit facilities, securitizations via the Affirm master trust, pass-through loan sales, and forward flow arrangements—diversified across depository institutions, investment banks, pension funds, and insurance companies. Primary competitors include Klarna and Block in pay-over-time, and card-issuing banks such as Synchrony, J.P. Morgan Chase, and Capital One, which fund at lower cost through insured deposits.
Show full overview
Affirm's originating-bank-partner model carries a structural counterparty dependency: Celtic Bank and Lead Bank together originate substantially all platform loans, and if either terminated its agreement, Affirm would need additional state lending licenses or face operational curtailment during any transition. The sole Affirm Card issuing relationship with Evolve Bank & Trust auto-renews annually, and the 10-K discloses that transitioning card issuance to a new bank would require replacing existing virtual and physical cards, disrupting consumer transactions.
