Affirm enables you to get the phone you want now by breaking the cost into monthly payments. (Subject to eligibility. Payment options through Affirm are provided by these lending partners:affirm.com/lenders.) You can apply during the Cricket checkout process.
Note: To take advantage of Cricket-specific offerings and rates, apply with Affirm through the Cricket website.
How do Affirm monthly payments works?
When you purchase a device or accessory using Affirm, the total due will be presented upfront, and Affirm will pay that amount. You will then make monthly payments to Affirm in the amount you agreed to with Affirm.
Does using Affirm affect my credit score?
Affirm is intended to help you keep your budget in balance. When you apply, Affirm will check your credit history, but the eligibility check will not affect your credit score. If you decide to purchase with Affirm, your choice of loan and payments may impact your credit score. For questions, call 855-423-3729 or visitaffirm.com/help.
What does the Affirm loan cover?
Your Affirm payments will be applied to the cost of your device(s) and accessories, as well as your initial Cricket service charge. Subsequent monthly service charges for wireless plans and features cannot be paid through Affirm. Instead, they must be paid directly to Cricket by credit or debit card, Cricket Refill Cards, Service Payment Cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, or cash. Read more aboutbill pay methods.
If you fail to pay Cricket for your monthly service plan, you may experience an interruption in service. (Learn how to split your Cricket bill into to separate payments withBridgePay.)
