Payment network Affirm has announced its 3-year flow partnership with Sixth Street in order to invest up to USD 4 million in Affirm Loans. 

Following this announcement, Sixth Street, through its Asset Based Finance platform, will invest up to USD 4 billion by purchasing Affirm loans in a secure and efficient AssetCo structure pursuant to a three-year, forward flow agreement.

In addition, the capital will offer flexibility, commitment, and alignment from both partners and will also provide additional off-balance sheet funding. This will deliver Affirm the ability to extend loans up to more than USD 20 billion over the next three years as the company continues to scale its payment network.
