svi pAYMENT FLEXIBILITY
Give Borrowers Another Way to Pay
Stewart Valuation Intelligence has partnered with Affirm to provide participating lenders with an additional payment option for appraisal services.
Eligible borrowers can choose from flexible payment plans, including interest-free options for qualifying purchases or longer-term installments, helping them manage upfront appraisal costs in a way that fits their budget.
Why Offer SVI Payment Flexibility?
Our goal is to help lenders enhance the borrower experience without introducing operational complexity. Appraisal fees are often one of the first out-of-pocket expenses borrowers encounter, and providing an additional payment option can help make that step more manageable.
With flexible payment plans available through Affirm, eligible borrowers can choose options that align with their financial preferences, including interest-free plans for qualifying purchases. Borrowers review their options upfront, with clear terms and no hidden fees, creating a more transparent and confident payment experience. See Terms & Conditions below.
