Shopping online at 2 a.m.?

Americans shopping online after midnight often make riskier transactions and are more likely to default on their loans, according to Affirm. The fintech firm uses the hour a consumer attempts a transaction as a key data point to help determine whether to approve loans. Other factors include a user’s repayment history with Affirm and transaction data from credit bureau Experian. “Human beings don’t make the best decisions at two o’clock in the morning,” Affirm said. “It’s clear as day — credit delinquencies spike right around 2 a.m.” While the data is clear that late-night financial decisions are riskier, the reasons for it are less so. source: cnbc, affirm
