Affirm Holdings Inc. stock has hit a 20-day low, declining by 3.02% in regular trading.
The recent partnership with Fiserv allows U.S. banks and credit unions to integrate pay-over-time features into debit card programs, addressing consumer demand for flexible payment options. This collaboration is expected to enhance customer engagement and drive transaction growth, positioning Affirm favorably in the competitive financial services landscape.
This strategic move reflects Affirm's commitment to expanding its service offerings and improving customer experiences, which may help stabilize its stock performance amid current market fluctuations.
