(TSX-V:MENE) ("Mene" or the "Company"), an online 24 karat investment jewelry brand, today announced its partnership with Affirm, which provides U.S. customers with a new option based on real-time credit decisions that allow them to split Mene purchases into monthly payments while receiving items directly following payment capture.
