What information is needed to apply?

Updated over 10 months ago

If you’re joining Upgraded for the first time, you’ll first need to check your eligibility. To apply for financing with Affirm, you'll need to provide the following information:

  1. Personal Information: Your full legal name, date of birth, and email address.

  2. Contact Details: Your mobile phone number and current residential address. It must be a U.S. phone number.

  3. Financial Information: Details about your income and employment may be requested to assess your ability to repay the loan. It must be a valid U.S. bank checking or savings account to make your monthly payments.

  4. Social Security Number (SSN): In the U.S., Affirm requires your SSN to verify your identity and perform a credit check.

Affirm uses this information to determine your eligibility for financing options. The application process includes a soft credit inquiry, which does not affect your credit score. However, if you proceed with a loan, a hard credit inquiry may be performed, which can impact your credit score.

For more detailed information, you can visit Affirm's official website at affirm.com.
