Although confidence in the U.S. economy is waning, consumers are finding new ways to feel in control of their finances, according to Affirm’s latest consumer survey. Our SVP of Product, Vishal Kapoor, spoke to CNBC's Jessica Dickler about the survey, which shows that 3 in 5 Americans think we’re currently in a recession. Against this backdrop, consumers are prioritizing flexibility and control when it comes to managing their finances. Other findings from the survey include: 🟢 Roughly 90% of Americans say having a predictable monthly budget is a priority. 🟢 More than half of Americans surveyed (54%) say they have used or would use options to pay over time. 🟢 Nearly 1 in 2 U.S. shoppers (48%) say the availability of 0% APR offers affects their purchasing decisions. 🟢 63% of Americans prefer seeing the total cost of a purchase upfront, including any interest charges. Check out the story in CNBC and our full survey findings for more insights: https://bit.ly/4cVPLG8 https://bit.ly/4dfgBJb

CNBC’s Kelly Evans spoke with our Founder and CEO, Max Levchin, earlier today on why it’s time for “revolving” on a credit 💳 to be rebranded as “buy now and pay forever”. 💭 Max said: “The most important thing we deliver [consumers] is a sense of certainty and control… We don’t allow revolving. We don’t charge compound interest. We don’t charge late fees.” Check out the full interview to learn more about the state of the consumer and U.S. economy. You’ll also get a sneak peek into the upcoming results of a recent Affirm survey of 2,000 Americans. 👀 https://bit.ly/3SbBAEI

Our Founder and CEO Max Levchin recently joined Slava Rubin on the Smart Humans podcast to discuss investing and entrepreneurship, from the early days of the internet → Affirm’s role today in payments. Some highlights from Max: 🛠️ Lending is hard. It's not an easy thing to do, and that's good. In general, my entrepreneurial advice has always been ‘build really difficult things’. While there are a couple of reasons why Affirm has been successful, the main one is that building a really good underwriting engine takes a long time. 🔮 I spend 99% of my time formulating my thesis around what to do with Affirm today, tomorrow, five years from now, 36 months from now. And so when I think or invest, the first thing that comes to mind is actually how I'm going to spend my time over the next 36 months to make sure Affirm is best positioned for the future and that we are harnessing all the cool new things that are happening in computing. Watch or listen to the full episode here or wherever you get your podcasts, including to learn which career path Max almost pursued (hint: it combines a passion for math, security, and cryptography): https://bit.ly/4f3CzR1
