Affirm is reinventing credit to make it more honest and friendly, giving consumers the flexibility to buy now and pay later without any hidden fees or compounding interest.
The Loan Origination and Reporting team (LOR) is responsible for the creation of all loans with Affirm. We make reliable, scalable systems that can handle loan requests from our continually growing customer base. Our team's main users include the bank partners who originate our loans, and other engineering teams that use our services. In the future, we will be extending our reach to countries outside the U.S., signing on new customers, new merchants, and new bank partners along the way.
