Millennials, the largest consumer group in the U.S., are shifting their spending from products to experiences.Additionally, only 13% of the U.S. population can afford to use their vacation days, hence, a growing demand for travel installments.We’ve also found that 55% of people are avoiding credit cards at checkout when paying for travel.With over half of Americans feeling stressed when planning and determining how they will pay for travel, it’s not surprising that 67% are looking for options to pay over time.Here is Affirm's pitch at The Phocuswright Conference 2018...Affirm And further analysis in the PhocusWire Studio.PhocusWire @ Phocuswright 2018 - Affirm pitch analysis AirlineHotelOnline Travel AgencyPackagingFinanceYield ManagementPhocuswright Conference 2018
