Affirm's card product now rivals its own five-year-ago total GMV
As seen on the 24/7 Wall St. homepage on November 5, 2026.
Active cardholders increased 112% to 6 million while Card GMV grew 117%. Card generated more GMV in FQ1'27 than Affirm's entire business did in the same quarter five years ago. We continue to expect the first Affirm Edge pilots to go live in the first calendar half of 2027.

Max Levchin's fiscal Q1 2027 earnings report showed Card GMV growing 117%, a segment compounding far faster than Affirm's overall business.

Despite those figures, shares slipped 3% after Levchin spoke. The card facts themselves do not include a margin figure, leaving questions beyond raw volume growth that the earnings report did not fully answer.
The next concrete date investors have to work with is the first calendar half of 2027, when Affirm expects the first Affirm Edge pilots to go live. Edge remains in the pilot stage, so the card product's trajectory between now and that launch window will be the cleaner signal to track.
