    I am proud to share that Affirm has expanded to the UK and that one of our earliest adopting travel partners for both the US & Canada, Alternative Airlines, was our first partner to launch in the UK. Incredible work by many, and I am incredibly proud of Julia Perschke, Ruth Spratt, and Sam Argyle on the successful launch!
