Kirby McInerney LLP Announces the Filing of a Securities Class Action on Behalf of Affirm Holdings, Inc. (AFRM) Investors

The law firm of Kirby McInerney LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of those who acquired Affirm Holdings, Inc. (“Affirm”) (NASDAQ: AFRM) securities between February 12, 2021 through December 15, 2021 (the “Class Period”). Investors have until February 6, 2023 to apply to the Court to be appointed as lead plaintiff in the lawsuit.

Affirm is a financial technology company that operates a platform for digital and mobile-first commerce.

On December 16, 2021, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”) announced that it had launched an inquiry into Affirm’s BNPL payment service, along with four other companies offering BNPL. The CFPB indicated that it was concerned about how BNPL leads to “accumulating debt, regulatory arbitrage, and data harvesting,” and is seeking data on the risks and benefits of the products. In a statement addressing BNPL services, the CFPB Director stated, “[t]he consumer gets the product immediately but gets the debt immediately too.” On this news, the price of Affirm shares declined by $11.74 per share, or approximately 10.58%, from $110.98 per share to close at $99.24 on December 16, 2021.

Elrod of Kirby McInerney LLP by email at investigations@kmllp.com, or by filling out this contact form, to discuss your rights or interests with respect to these matters without any cost to you.
