One may also ask, can anyone get approved for Affirm?
You will need to be at least 18 years old and be a permanent resident or citizen of the U.S. to qualify. You must have a cell phone number and agree to receive texts from the company. It is also ideal to have a credit score of at least 550.
Similarly, does Affirm do hard credit checks?
However, an instant hard credit check is performed when you use an Affirm ‘Pay Monthly’ plan. Unlike soft credit checks, hard credit checks do impact your credit score. Affirm’s “Pay in 4” installment plan does not impact your credit score, while their “Pay Monthly” plan may impact your credit score.
