Strong GMV Growth in the Quarter
Q2 GMV grew ~36% year-over-year, demonstrating continued topline expansion versus the prior-year period.
Affirm Card Rapid Expansion
Affirm Card GMV was up just under 160% YoY; active cardholders increased 121% YoY; 0% deals on the card rose ~190% YoY — the card is a fast-growing engagement and acquisition channel.
Merchant Count and Diversification
Active merchant count accelerated to +42% YoY, helped by wallet partnerships; the 'Other' GMV category reached ~15% of total GMV and is growing at triple‑digit rates, reflecting diversification across many smaller merchants.
Capital Markets Execution and Lower Funding Costs
Execution in ABS markets was strong — latest deal priced with spreads under 100 bps and a weighted average yield below 4.6%. Management noted meaningful benefits to transaction costs from lower funding costs and constructive demand from forward-flow and private credit partners.
Product Innovation and AI-Led Merchant Tools
New products like Boost AI (automated A/B testing and an ad-like channel for incremental merchant dollars) and Adapt AI are early but driving conversion lift; a recent promotional event (“big nothing”) produced strong conversion and cardholder growth.
Healthy Consumer Credit Trends
Management reported consumers remain healthy, able and willing to repay. Credit performance metrics (NACo curves) remain stable and provisions only ticked up modestly by a few basis points.
International Progress
International expansion is progressing (UK momentum highlighted with partners like Wayfair and other announced integrations); Shopify-related flows are still scaling and pipeline activity is strong.
