Affirm (NASDAQ: AFRM), the payment network that empowers consumers and helps merchants drive growth, announced that it is expanding its collaboration with Google Pay and making its flexible payment options available “via autofill on Chrome.”
This announcement builds on Affirm’s launch “on Google Pay in early 2024, which enabled eligible consumers to pay over time with Affirm wherever the Google Pay button is accepted.”
Now, using autofill on Chrome, eligible shoppers “can pay over time with Affirm quickly and conveniently, at more places where they shop.”
Vishal Kapoor, SVP of Product at Affirm
“By integrating Affirm with autofill on Chrome, we can deliver payment choice and flexibility seamlessly and at scale.”
People shop on Google more than a billion times per day, and “autofill offers them a safe, convenient way to check out on Chrome and Android.”
After choosing Affirm, they will go “through a quick eligibility check and, if approved, select the personalized biweekly or monthly payment plan that works best for them.”
Plans range from “four biweekly payments to monthly installments up to 24 months, support cart sizes from $35 to $30,000, and include interest rates starting at 0% APR.”
As always, Affirm claims that it “does not charge any late or hidden fees.”
Consumers will also have the ability “to link their Affirm account with Google Pay, allowing them to breeze through checkout quickly and securely for future purchases.”
New and existing Affirm users can “pay with autofill on Chrome at select merchant websites.”
This feature will be automatically “activated for merchants, with no integration effort required.”
Affirm claims that its mission is to deliver “honest financial products that improve lives.”
By building a new kind of payment network – “one based on trust, transparency and putting people first – they empower consumers to spend and save responsibly, and give thousands of businesses the tools to fuel growth.”
Unlike most credit cards and other pay-over-time options, they claim to “never charge any late or hidden fees.”
