Affirm10-Q: Platform strategy

Affirm's funding strategy relies on $9.7B in off-balance sheet securitizations

What happened

Affirm's business model heavily depends on off-balance sheet arrangements, with a $9.7 billion aggregate balance of loans held by third-party investors and securitizations. This complex funding strategy involves unconsolidated VIEs and risk-sharing agreements, creating needs for specialized software for securitization management, compliance tracking, and counterparty risk analysis.
