The Affirm Card is one of the company's fastest-growing products and an increasingly significant contributor to overall platform GMV. Our team owns everything that happens after a card transaction settles. We build and operate the systems that keep customer accounts accurate and resolve issues when something goes wrong after a transaction, working closely with the teams that own card issuing, transaction processing, and money movement.
