Affirm expands buy now, pay later service to the UK

Affirm, the buy now, pay later firm, has officially expanded its services to the U.K., marking its first venture outside of the U.S. and Canada. Founded in 2012, Affirm is known for its flexible pay-over-time payment options, where each transaction is underwritten before a lending decision is made, without any late fees.

Authorized by the Financial Conduct Authority, Affirm’s U.K. offering includes interest-free and interest-bearing monthly payment options. The interest rates on these plans are fixed and calculated based on the original principal amount, ensuring that they do not increase or compound over time.

With over 50 million users and more than 300,000 active merchants globally, including giants like Amazon, Shopify, and Walmart, Affirm has already onboarded some U.K. brands like Alternative Airlines and Fexco. The company’s CEO, Max Levchin, revealed that the decision to launch in the U.K. was driven by the significant demand from merchants in the country.

Despite the fierce competition in the U.K. fintech space, with players like Klarna, Block’s Clearpay, Zilch, and PayPal already established, Affirm differentiates itself by offering longer financing periods of up to 36 months. This launch comes at a time when the U.K. government is considering regulating the buy now, pay later industry to ensure consumer protection.

Levchin expressed his support for thoughtful regulation that places responsibility on the market while not burdening consumers. Affirm’s collaboration with the Financial Conduct Authority was successful due to the company’s impeccable reputation of never charging late fees or engaging in anti-consumer practices.

As Affirm continues to expand globally, it remains committed to providing transparent and consumer-friendly financial solutions, backed by its strong reputation and dedication to serving both merchants and consumers alike.
