Affirm CEO Max Levchin on Credit Cards vs. ‘Buy Now, Pay Later’
Listen now
Description
Affirm CEO Max Levchin is one of the original co-founders of PayPal, and now he leads one of the biggest players in the buy now, pay later business. Levchin wants to build a company that changes how shoppers pay for big-ticket items and the way people take on debt.
