Affirm will never ask you to pay any upfront fees or send you any checks to purchase equipment during any part of the recruiting process. Affirm only uses legitimate company email address domains (either “@affirm.com” or "@us.greenhouse-mail.io”) to communicate with candidates via email. Affirm is also proud to be a remote-first company! Attracting great people starts by finding talent in different places. That's why we built remote work into the DNA of how we do business—but if an office space is more your style, we have offices in Chicago, New York City, Pittsburgh, San Francisco, Seattle, Toronto, Warsaw, Madrid and London. Not to mention we have comprehensive and award-winning benefits that were made for you. Interested in learning more? Check out our careers page and apply today!

As we look to our next chapter, we’re choosing a name that reflects why we exist: to clear the way for our members to make it happen.

Earnest was founded in 2013 on the belief that getting a loan shouldn’t be so difficult for financially responsible people. We are bringing back the trust that was previously lost in financial systems. We look beyond a credit score, instead of analyzing a person's full education, employment, and financial profile to reward financially responsible people with better rates than traditional lenders. For recent college graduates, repaying student loans can be a stressful financial burden as you embark on your career. This is why Earnest offers student loan refinancing with low-interest rates and zero fees. Refinancing your student loans with Earnest gives you the option to choose a repayment plan that fits your budget and the option to choose between a variable or fixed interest rates. We also offer extras like the ability to skip a payment, change your payment amount and date, and the ability to repay your loan faster without penalties. Navigating loans to pay for school can be a long and confusing process. This outdated process inspired us to create a new private student loan product, with new tools to simplify every step of the application and approval process. Led with technology, data, and design to engineer a more human application experience, Earnest’s private student loans incorporate an innovative eligibility check, cosigner invite, ability to customize your loan, and a 9-month grace period. We have no fees and offer flexible repayment options and extras like skip a payment. Learn more about Earnest’s products at www.earnest.com. For employees, Earnest’s culture is as dynamic as the products we are building and defining every day. Earnest offers great perks including a generous paid time off policy, catered meals, annual flight to anywhere in the world with a buddy (up to $1,000), and more.
