Why was I prompted for my checking account?

Affirm may sometimes need more information about your finances and your ability to repay to make a credit decision. If you are prompted to link your checking account and would like to proceed, please provide the login information for your online bank account. Affirm does not store your online login credentials---they are transmitted securely to your bank.

If Affirm asks you to link your checking account, Affirm won't be able to offer you credit if:

• Your bank is not listed
• You choose not to link your checking account
• You don't use online banking
• The username and / or password you provide is incorrect
  *You're unable to successfully connect your checking account
