Our SVP of Revenue, Pat Suh, sat down with Retail Brew to discuss Affirm’s recent launch with Stitch Fix and our growing momentum in the fashion category. Pat also emphasized the value of Affirm’s 0% APR options, explaining that retailers “are looking at new ways to drive interest that’s different than a coupon or X percent off.” Interest-free financing offers a powerful alternative, allowing brands to provide consumers with a deal without price gauging or diluting their brand. ??
