Membership
AFSA provides the consumer credit industry and its customers with a voice in Washington, D.C., where the association is headquartered.
Whether you are a large diversified financial services company, a single state operator or a company that specializes in one industry segment such as cards, mortgage lending or vehicle finance, AFSA is the association for you. AFSA members benefit from an action-oriented trade association that has the capacity to anticipate and deal with short- and long-term industry challenges.
More than 325 companies currently make up the AFSA membership. Each of our five membership categories has distinctive benefits tailored to the specific needs of the diverse consumer credit industry.
To qualify for AFSA membership, a company must:
- Commit to the highest ethical standards
- Comply with all federal, state, and local laws and regulations
- Abide by AFSA Bylaws and Guiding Principles
- Receive approval by the AFSA Board of Directors
- Pay all dues and fees when due
Ways to Get Involved
A major benefit of corporate membership continues to be the opportunity to involve senior management in the appropriate AFSA board, committee, section or division that relates to an individual company’s needs and interests. Many of these groups are the driving forces for major AFSA initiatives and activities.
