EMist Financing Options
WHY:
- Transparent: The total amount that you pay will never go up.
- Flexible: You choose the payment schedule that works for you.
- Fair: Never pay late fees, penalties, or hidden interest, EVER.
With Affirm, you never pay more than you agree to upfront. With a credit card, you owe more interest the longer you take to pay off your balance, in addition to other fees you may incur.

FAQs
Will Affirm affect my credit score?
Creating an Affirm account and seeing if you prequalify will not affect your credit score. If you decide to buy with Affirm, these things may affect your credit score: making a purchase with Affirm, your payment history with Affirm, how much credit you’ve used, and how long you’ve had credit.
Does Affirm charge interest and fees?
Affirm does not charge any fees. That means no late fees, no prepayment fees, no annual fees, and no fees to open or close your account. Depending on the size of your purchase and where you’re shopping, your payment plan may include interest. You’ll never owe more interest than you agree to on day one—so you always know exactly what you’re getting into.
What does it mean to prequalify?
When you prequalify, you get an estimate of how much you can spend with Affirm. You don’t have to use the full amount, and you’re not on the hook to pay anything back until you actually make a purchase.
How does Affirm make money?
Affirm earns a commission from businesses, and shoppers pay interest on some items. Unlike credit card companies, Affirm does not depend on shoppers paying late or staying in debt. Instead, they try to give shoppers a great experience, so they come back and use Affirm again.

FAQs
How do I track the installment payments on my card statement?
Each month, your credit card statement displays the installment charge amount for that month, along with the merchant name. You will also see the authorization/hold for the outstanding amount dropping by one installment, every month. In addition, Splitit will email you after each successful installment charge.
*Note that the held amount might show as ‘pending transaction’ on your credit card statement.
How does Splitit use authorization holds?
Splitit transactions work on a pre-authorization (aka “pre-auth”) system. Splitit maintains a hold on a consumer’s credit card for the entire amount but charges only the current installment. It temporarily decreases their available credit limit by blocking the total amount of the purchase, until the transaction is complete. As the consumer pays each installment, the amount blocked (or held) on their credit card decreases, until the purchase is completely paid off. This way, Splitit ensures the shopper is capable of paying the total price. A shopper is only approved to use Splitit’s installment-payment option if they have enough credit available to cover the full purchase price.
Is SplitIt a safe solution?
Yes. Splitit complies with Visa, Mastercard, and UnionPay operating standards. We are PCI – DSS level 1 compliant and we use communication security technology (single-socket layer/ SSL) to keep the information safe.
