#### Compensation-Setting Process

#### Role of the Compensation Committee
The Compensation Committee discharges the responsibilities of our Board relating to the compensation of our executive officers (other than our CEO). The Compensation Committee has the overall responsibility for overseeing our compensation and benefits policies generally, and overseeing, evaluating and approving the compensation plans, policies and practices applicable to our named executive officers (other than our CEO). The independent members of our Board discharge the responsibilities of our Board relating to the compensation of our CEO.

In carrying out its responsibilities, the Compensation Committee (or, in the case of our CEO, the independent directors) evaluates our compensation policies and practices with a focus on the degree to which these policies and practices reflect our executive compensation philosophy. The Compensation Committee also develops strategies and makes decisions that it believes further our philosophy taking into consideration best compensation practices. The Compensation Committee reviews the performance of our named executive officers when making decisions with respect to their compensation and recommendations for the compensation of our CEO.

The Compensation Committee’s authority, duties and responsibilities are further described in its charter, which is reviewed annually and revised as warranted. The charter is available on the “ Corporate Governance ” section of our investor relations website at investors.affirm.com/corporate-governance/governance-overview.

The Compensation Committee retains a compensation consultant (as described below) to provide support in the review and assessment of our executive compensation program; however, the Compensation Committee (or, in the case of our CEO, the independent directors) exercises its own judgment in making final decisions with respect to the compensation of our named executive officers.

#### Role of Management
In discharging its responsibilities, the members of the Compensation Committee work with members of our management, including our CEO. Our management assists the Compensation Committee by providing information on corporate and individual performance, market compensation data, and management’s perspective on compensation matters. The Compensation Committee solicits and reviews our CEO’s proposals with respect to program structures, as well as his recommendations for adjustments to base salaries, annual cash incentive compensation, and long-term incentive compensation opportunities, and other compensation-related matters for our named executive officers (except with respect to his own compensation).

At least once each fiscal year, our CEO
