Max Levchin's Affirm raises $300m in latest funding round
Levchin started Affirm in 2013 to give consumers without credit history or savings accounts access to small loans.

For Levchin, Affirm is something of a PayPal 2.0, using big data analytics and highly complex security systems to offer consumers an alternative to traditional banks.
