How to make a purchase

Debit with a flex

Bring the power of Affirm to your wallet

The Affirm Card™ is an everyday debit card with two ways to pay. Use it to pay in full or request to pay over time in the app with no late fees or compound interest.

Apply and choose your payment plan

Pick the payment option that works for you—from 4 interest-free payments every 2 weeks to monthly installments.

Make your payments

Manage your payments in the Affirm app or online, and set up AutoPay so you don’t miss a payment. But if you do, you’ll never pay any fees.
