Affirm is a Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) service in the US, and it is rapidly snagging the top-tier spot as the preferred method of payment in the country. According to data by Research and Markets, the BNPL landscape in the country is expected to grow by a staggering 66.5%.

Affirm reported a strategic partnership with Amazon in 2021, facilitating consumers to buy now and pay later for items that cost over $50. This payment method has since revolutionized the eCommerce space in the US.

Let us look at a few companies that leverage Affirm’s BNPL model to serve consumers with simplified and effective payment systems.
