Let’s talk shop. Or rather, let’s talk about how pay-over-time solutions can benefit your business. The Affirm team, Dan and Curtis, will be onsite at Shoptalk Europe and would like to meet with you. Schedule time with our team to discover how Affirm's flexible payment solutions can help drive revenue for your business. 

Did you know 70% of pay-over-time users want installment plans offered directly by their banks? Thanks to Affirm’s partnership with FIS, banks and credit unions can now seamlessly offer flexible payment solutions through their existing debit cards—helping them stay top-of-wallet, address more transactions, and keep cardholder spend within their ecosystem. Check out our CRO, Wayne Pommen's, blog post to learn more about how partnering with Affirm can help banks seize the pay-later opportunity and better serve their cardholders: https://lnkd.in/g6mYKr-j

We continue to honor Memorial Day by highlighting voices from our Veterans@ Affirm ERG. Julian Wallace, International New Markets Manager, served as a Captain in the U.S. Army Logistics Corps, and his journey into military service was deeply personal. Inspired by his older brother, who has served in the Army National Guard for over 14 years, Julian joined Army ROTC in college and went on to serve on Active Duty. Reflecting on the meaning of Memorial Day, Julian shared: “Memorial Day is a powerful reminder of the cost of our freedom. It’s a day to pause and reflect on the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. During my time in the Army, I’ve lost a few loved ones who gave everything in the line of duty. For me, it’s not just about remembrance, it’s about carrying their legacy forward with gratitude and purpose. Honoring Memorial Day means recognizing the weight of that sacrifice and committing ourselves to values worth defending. It’s a moment to reflect, to honor, and to ensure their stories are never forgotten.” #MemorialDay

This Memorial Day, we honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. We asked members of our Veterans@ ERG to share what the significance of the holiday means to them. Trace Major, Key Accounts Account Executive, and member of Veterans@ exemplifies a lifelong commitment to service. Trace was commissioned into the U.S. Army as a Second Lieutenant, served in the Infantry and Quartermaster Corps, and later deployed to Afghanistan as a Captain and Base Commander in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. His path to service began at Texas A&M through the ROTC Corps of Cadets and was inspired by both of his grandfathers, who served in World War II. Reflecting on Memorial Day, Trace shared: “Today is a day to pause and be eternally grateful. It's also a day to reflect. We are all so incredibly blessed to live in a free nation where our liberties have been preserved by countless men and women who volunteered, fought, and laid down their lives in defense of our freedoms. I have personal friends and fellow Aggies who paid the ultimate price in recent wars on distant shores. I honor their sacrifice. I honor their memory.” #MemorialDay
