Founded in 2020 in Barcelona, Spain by Julio Martinez and Jorge Lluch, Abacum raised $30 million in Series A funding in 2022 from Benchmark and others, targeting the acute pain that finance teams feel maintaining complex, formula-linked Excel models that break when input assumptions change.
Q2 FY2025: Revenue up 47% to $866M; active consumers grew 23% to 21M; merchants increased to 358K
Affirm was founded in 2012 by Max Levchin, a co-founder of PayPal, with the mission of building honest financial products that improve lives — a direct response to what Levchin viewed as deceptive and predatory practices in the traditional credit card industry. Affirm's core innovation was the transparent installment loan: a fixed repayment schedule with a stated interest rate and no late fees, no compounding interest, and no penalty charges. The company's underwriting engine uses alternative data signals beyond FICO scores, making credit available to consumers who are creditworthy but underserved by traditional credit products.\n\nAffirm's platform enables consumers to split purchases into installment plans at checkout across a merchant network of 358,000+ retailers including Walmart, Amazon, Shopify, and Apple. The product is available at point of sale online, in-app, and in stores via the Affirm Card, a debit card with pay-later functionality. Affirm generates revenue from merchant fees (who pay for incremental conversion) and from consumer interest on longer-term loans, while its zero-interest short-term products are fully subsidized by merchant fees. The Affirm app also enables consumers to shop directly within a managed marketplace and manage all installment plans in one place.\n\nAffirm reported Q2 FY2025 revenue of $866 million, a 47% year-over-year increase, driven by 21 million active consumers and growing merchant adoption. The company trades on Nasdaq under the ticker AFRM and has established itself as the leading BNPL provider in the United States by GMV and merchant count. Affirm's differentiation from competitors like Klarna and Afterpay lies in its full-spectrum loan products — it competes effectively on short-term interest-free plans while also offering 24–36 month financing for high-ticket items like mattresses, fitness equipment, and travel.
