Affirm Provides Flexible Payment Solution for Amazon

​Affirm, a publicly traded financial technology company headquartered in San Francisco, recently announced its partnership with Amazon.

With the new partnership, Affirm's flexible payment solution will soon be available to Amazon.com customers at checkout. Amazon and Affirm are testing with select customers now, and in the coming months, Amazon plans to make Affirm more broadly available to its customers, according to the official press release.

Selected Amazon customers now have the option to split the total cost of purchases of $50 or more into simple monthly payments by using Affirm. Approved customers are shown the total cost of their purchase upfront and will never pay more than what they agree to at checkout. As always, when choosing Affirm, consumers will not be charged any late or hidden fees. 

“By partnering with Amazon we’re bringing the transparency, predictability, and affordability that Affirm provides today to the millions of people who shop on Amazon.com in the U.S.,” Eric Morse, Senior Vice President of Sales at Affirm, said in a statement. “Offering Affirm’s alternative to credit cards also delivers more of the payment choice and flexibility consumers on Amazon want.”

As Fazzaco reported earlier, Apple Inc. (Apple) has built a partnership with Affirm Holdings Inc.’s affiliate -- PayBright​, a Canada-based buy now, pay later (BNPL) service provider, to launch BNPL programme for Canadian customers this month, as part of Apple’s expansion strategy.
