Associate Membership
Your connection to the $500 billion consumer credit marketplace, including consumer and sales finance, card issuers, mortgage lending, and vehicle finance/leasing.
Companies that provide products and services to consumer or commercial finance companies and banks. To be eligible for associate membership, companies must be in business for at least one year and approved by the AFSA Board of Directors.
NOTE: A company may not join solely as an associate member if it qualifies as an active member. However, active member subsidiaries that are suppliers to the industry may join as associate members at a significant discount.
AFSA values associate members as business partners and provides them with total access to key decision makers and information about the industry.
As experts in the products and services they offer, AFSA’s associate members play an important role in working with AFSA on special projects, serving on committees and boards, helping to develop conferences and serve as important resources to the association and its members.
