Airwallex partners Affirm for US BNPL roll out

International merchants using the Airwallex platform can now offer Affirm’s Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) options to their U.S. customers. This partnership simplifies the process for global retailers to enter the American market without needing separate local entities or complex bank integrations. By adding Affirm at checkout, businesses can offer transparent payment plans starting at 0% APR. For the merchant, this means potentially higher conversion rates and larger average order values. Affirm handles the credit risk and pays the merchant upfront, while customers gain the flexibility to pay over time. The integration is designed to be seamless for existing Airwallex users. This moves the needle for cross-border e-commerce, making it easier for overseas brands to compete with domestic U.S. retailers by offering the same financial perks consumers expect. If you use Airwallex to manage your global payments, you can now toggle on one of the most recognized BNPL brands in the U.S. to capture more sales during the checkout process.
