Credit history tells you what happened, but understanding the full story means looking at when it happened and what came next. In a new conversation with PYMNTS CEO Karen Webster, Affirm President Libor Michalek explains how our transformer-based underwriting model reads credit history as a sequence of events, finding more signals that traditional models may miss, and helping us make more precise decisions.

"One of the things I will rage against is those fake 0% APR loans." Max Levchin shares the origin story on why 0% will always mean 0% APR at Affirm (and so much more) on the a16z podcast. https://bit.ly/3Tf8QyC

Affirm’s next-generation, transformer-based underwriting model is live at U.S. checkout. For 14 years, each generation of our models has gotten better at reading a person's credit history. This latest model learns patterns within and across credit accounts over time, giving us a clearer view of someone’s credit history. That deeper understanding helps us assess what they can responsibly repay and how we can responsibly approve more eligible consumers. Every purchase still gets its own underwriting decision. Affirm doesn't benefit from extending credit that can't be repaid, so saying yes to more people only works if we also get even better at saying no. Read more: https://lnkd.in/ediiZP4N
