Card network revenue 

Card network revenue increased by $18.9 million, or 48%, and $32.9 million, or 45%, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2023. Card network revenue growth is correlated with the growth of GMV processed by our card-issuing partners. As such, the increase is primarily driven by $3.1 billion and $5.5 billion of GMV processed through our card-issuing partners, an increase of 43% and 41% for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2023. This was driven by increased card activity primarily through our single use virtual cards and Affirm Card, as well as growth in existing and new merchants utilizing our agreement with card-issuing partners as a means of integrating Affirm services, which grew from approximately 1,500 merchants as of December 31, 2023 to 19,900 merchants as of December 31, 2024. Card network revenue is also impacted by the mix of merchants as different merchants can have different interchange rates depending on their industry or size, among other factors.

Interest income increased by $121.0 million, or 42%, and $235.4 million, or 43%, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2023. Generally, interest income is correlated with the changes in the average balance of loans held for investment, which increased by 34% to $6.6 billion and 32% to $6.3 billion for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2023. As a result, interest income from interest-bearing loans increased by $127.8 million, or 52%, and $238.7 million, or 50%, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2023.
