Investor Forum 2026: Credit Redefined
May 12, 2026
~65% of eComm transactions and ~45% of in-store POS transactions by
2030. AFRM has integrated into GooglePay eComm, Apple Pay eComm,
Google Chrome Autofill, and Apple Pay in-store, which has translated
to ~$1.7B in wallet GMV TTM, ~2.3M wallet users TTM, ~155% y/y GMV
growth, ~70% higher repeat transactions per user, and ~80% of GMV
coming from non-integrated merchants. Lastly, AFRM will also look to
capture the in-store opportunity with wallets, which have seen ~165%
y/y GMV growth.
●Agentic commerce is on the horizon: Despite agentic commerce being
in its nascency, AFRM sees an opportunity to both build out and scale
an affordability layer where users receive up-funnel messaging and
clear purchasing power limits, and agents can interact across protocols
and merchants. Given AFRM’s ~14 years of underwriting data, we
believe the company is well-suited to bring BNPL into an agentic world.
Lastly, earlier this morning, AFRM announced an expanded partnership
with Google, where AFRM will be a payment option within Google Pay
in Google Search and the Gemini App.
●Tapping into banks with Affirm Edge: Management outlined a new
strategy called Affirm Edge, where the company will be directly
integrating its BNPL offerings into traditional banking applications.
A user will be able to see their transactions, purchasing power,
and custom offers all within the banking app they already use for
everyday finances. We see AFRM Edge adding a credit capability to
regional banks’ core debit offering. Management pegged the total
addressable volume opportunity at ~$140B, driven by ~130M U.S.
debit-first customers, of which ~54% prefer mobile banking, and ~$2K
incremental annual spend per user.
●The next frontier: international.
