Do I need a mobile number to use Affirm?

How do refunds work with Affirm?

It’s okay! If you’re not approved for financing through Affirm, you still have options. Talk to your law firm about alternative fee arrangements like payment plans.

Is my personal and financial information secure with Affirm?

Yes. Affirm uses encryption and advanced security measures to protect your data and ensure a safe application and repayment process.

Can I change my payment schedule after my plan is approved?

Affirm can’t change your due date. However, you can make automatic payments on a date of your choice if you turn on AutoPay, which automatically debits your payment from your selected payment method on each due date. Learn more about AutoPay here.

What happens if I miss a payment with Affirm?

If you miss a payment with Affirm, schedule a payment as soon as possible. Affirm does not charge late fees, but partial payments or late payments can hurt your credit score, which affects your chances using Pay Later in the future. Learn more here.
