Our Founder and CEO Max Levchin recently joined Slava Rubin on the Smart Humans podcast to discuss investing and entrepreneurship, from the early days of the internet → Affirm’s role today in payments. Some highlights from Max: 🛠️ Lending is hard. It's not an easy thing to do, and that's good. In general, my entrepreneurial advice has always been ‘build really difficult things’. While there are a couple of reasons why Affirm has been successful, the main one is that building a really good underwriting engine takes a long time. 🔮 I spend 99% of my time formulating my thesis around what to do with Affirm today, tomorrow, five years from now, 36 months from now. And so when I think or invest, the first thing that comes to mind is actually how I'm going to spend my time over the next 36 months to make sure Affirm is best positioned for the future and that we are harnessing all the cool new things that are happening in computing. Watch or listen to the full episode here or wherever you get your podcasts, including to learn which career path Max almost pursued (hint: it combines a passion for math, security, and cryptography): https://bit.ly/4f3CzR1

ICYMI: Our partners at Stripe recently ran an A/B test to assess the impact of offering flexible pay-over-time options like Affirm at checkout. Across 150,000 Stripe checkout sessions: 📈Businesses who offered a pay-over-time option at checkout saw up to a 14% increase in revenue. 💥Over 66% of pay-over-time volume came from net-new sales, where the customer likely only completed the transaction because a pay-over-time option was offered. 🛒Pay-over-time options drove increased conversion rates regardless of cart size. Transactions for both bigger ticket items ($500-$1500 average order value) and lower cost items (<$500 average order value) saw increased conversion rates when a pay-over-time option was offered at checkout. Stripe’s findings reinforce what we’ve known all along - that honest, flexible, and transparent payment methods like Affirm empower consumers while helping businesses of all sizes drive growth. Check out the full results 👉 https://bit.ly/4bHtAlE

In a recent interview with Fortune, our Founder and CEO Max Levchin discussed pivotal aspects of Affirm’s journey – including how our mission to build honest finance products that improve lives – was deeply influenced by his personal experience with credit cards. Highlights include: 🤝 “The total number of late fees or compounding interest that we charged last quarter was zero. It’s been zero since inception. We’ve never charged a penny of late fees – or any other hidden or gimmicky fees – and have no intention to.” 📢 ”Minimum payments aren’t designed to get you out of whatever balance you’ve created. That balance is sitting there revolving, which means that the interest [is] accrued every day, and goes right into the principal. People have a hard time estimating exponential functions, which is compounding interest accrual. That’s why integral to Affirm’s mission are simplicity and a sense of control.” ⚙️“Affirm has a prescribed schedule for every transaction we underwrite. When you use Affirm, you see a schedule of payments you have to agree to… We wanted to build a product that is not hard to understand, where the schedules are simple, [and] you have a sense of control.” 💊 “I have infinite conviction that if U.S. consumers would just switch entirely to Affirm, or other binary affiliate products, instead of credit cards, we would be in a healthier financial position, as a nation.” Max also discussed lessons he's learned throughout his career, including the best and worst advice he's ever received.
