Our Take on Affirm

Highlights

  • Current APY of 3.85% with no minimum deposit required.
  • No maintenance fees, making it cost-effective.
  • High App Store rating of 4.9 and Google Play rating of 4.8.
  • A+ BBB rating with BBB Accreditation ensures trustworthiness.

Considerations

  • No physical branches available for in-person banking.
  • Direct deposit is not required, but may limit some features.
  • While APY is competitive, it hasn't changed in the last 30 days.
  • Online-only access may not suit all users.
Summary: Affirm offers a competitive APY of 3.85% on its Money Account with no minimum deposit or maintenance fees. The account is highly rated on both app stores, reflecting user satisfaction. However, it operates online only, lacking physical branches, which may deter some savers. Additionally, while the APY is appealing, it has remained unchanged over the past month. Overall, Affirm's A+ BBB rating adds to its credibility as a financial service provider.
