Eligible consumers can now use Affirm to pay in
biweekly or monthly payments when shopping at JD Sports and Finish
Line
JD Sports, the leading retailer of sports, fashion, and outdoor
brands, has partnered with Affirm (NASDAQ: AFRM), the payment
network that empowers consumers and helps merchants drive growth,
to offer a new, flexible way to pay. This partnership brings
Affirm’s pay-over-time options to shoppers purchasing top brands
such as Nike, adidas, New Balance, and North Face at JD Sports and
Finish Line.
“At JD Sports, we’re committed to giving our customers the
freedom to shop the latest sports fashion and footwear, while
maintaining full control over their finances,” said Henry Spear, JD
Sports’ SVP of Digital Operations. “We’re excited to partner with
Affirm, especially with Black Friday and Cyber Monday just around
the corner. These events are the Super Bowl of the holiday shopping
season, and we know our customers will appreciate the added
flexibility and transparency that Affirm offers as they shop.”
With this new offering, consumers can now pay over time at over
500 JD Sports and Finish Line locations nationwide, as well as
online through the Affirm app. In-store shoppers can snap a quick
scan of the QR code at checkout with their smartphone to get
started, while in-app shoppers can select Affirm as a payment
option on the store page. In either case, shoppers will go through
a quick eligibility check. If approved, they will see customized
biweekly and monthly payment plans, with as low as 0% APR, and no
late or hidden fees.
“In October, Affirm saw a 50% year-over-year increase in
purchases at sporting goods retailers, indicating significant
demand for sports fashion and footwear this holiday season,” said
Pat Suh, Affirm’s SVP of Revenue. “Through our partnership with JD
Sports, we’re making it easier than ever to shop responsibly,
whether on the go or at home. And, we’re giving shoppers the
flexibility to better manage their purchases, with no hidden
fees—just simple, transparent payment options.”
JD Sports joins Affirm’s global network of over 320,000
merchants, including partnerships with Amazon, American Airlines,
Peloton, SeatGeek, and more.
