I am a bit concerned for “buy now pay later” – as much as affirm believes in their risk management skills – if an individual doesn’t pay or want to pay – then those defaults on bad “loans” increase and will begin to damage the company’s valuation. Especially in a potential recession which is enough for people to put priorities (house, food, clothing) over loan payments.
