About This Event

Card issuers have launched installment features on top of their credit lines, but Affirm President Libor Michalek says the economics of revolving debt make it hard for banks to fully pivot.

He joins Karen Webster to discuss transactional underwriting, vertical integration across the purchase journey, how agentic commerce changes credit decisions in real time and where BNPL still has room to grow.
