This year for Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month (APAHM), our Asian Heritage Alliance@ (AHA) Employee Resource Group hosted weekly events to bring the community and its allies closer together. We had the pleasure of inviting the Relating Between the Lines team to present on the “Cultural Dimensions of Relating” and how we can create our own user manuals, and members of AHA hosted a virtual cooking class to create a shared sense of culture and community through food. Thanks to our AHA Co-Leads and everyone who contributed to this month of insightful and enriching events! #APAHM #Affirmers #Community

Our CFO, Michael Linford, joined Austin Hankwitz with Morning Brew’s podcast After Earnings (From Morning Brew ☕️) to discuss some of the common pitfalls of revolving credit card debt, and how Affirm offers a flexible and transparent alternative. “We look at this system of consumer credit and see it as fraught with peril,” Michael said. “The people who are providing credit and the people who need it and use it are sitting at other sides of the table...We believe that there's a better way to provide credit, which is a good thing.” The conversation also focused on the underlying trends driving our business forward, some common misconceptions across the industry, and the strength of Affirm’s business model, including how we make money more efficient for consumers and merchants. Michael continued: “At Affirm, we’ve built a business model where we’re only going to win when the consumer wins. And we’re only going to be successful when the consumer is successful.” Check out the full episode here or wherever you get your podcasts: https://bit.ly/3URde3D

Our Founder & CEO Max Levchin joined Fox Business Network’s Liz Claman to discuss Affirm’s approach to responsibly extending access to credit and how not all pay-over-time providers are created equal, including as it relates to the response to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's efforts to promote consistent industry standards. Max said: “Generally speaking, it is a good thing. The fact that the playing field has been leveled and the entire industry needs to do as well as credit cards is good. Affirm and our competitor set emerged from this idea that credit cards are outdated. They are the ball and chain and buy now, pay forever. In this particular case, I think this will make the industry better.” On how Affirm is unique from other providers, Max commented: “Affirm has always been different. We launched on this premise that we can do better and consumers deserve a better product. We have never charged late fees. We don't hide our business model in fine print and we are aligned with the folks that call for good financial health and products that deliver just that.” Watch the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/ersePmz5

We are encouraged that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is promoting consistent industry standards, many of which already reflect how Affirm operates. Affirm’s success is aligned with responsibly extending access to credit as we do not charge late or hidden fees. We underwrite every transaction, provide consistent and transparent disclosures, and offer dispute and error resolution assistance. We have long been a vocal supporter of efforts that promote greater choice and transparency for consumers. Thoughtful regulation that provides a level playing field can help bring more flexible and transparent payment options further into the mainstream and is a positive for consumers, merchants, and Affirm.
