(September 15, 2023) The American Fintech Council (AFC), the premier industry association representing responsible fintech companies who deliver critical access to safe and affordable financial services, is proud to announce that they have partnered with Fintech Nexus for the 7th annual Fintech Policy Summit to be hosted on November 14th at The Westin Washington, D.C. City Center.

Regulatory engagement is critical for fintech companies and innovative banks as the industry continues to face regulatory uncertainty both in Washington, D.C. and states across the country. Now more than ever, it is critically important to gather industry leaders, academics, consumer groups, and policymakers to further the dialogue and discuss the most pressing regulatory issues in an effort to reach a consensus that balances innovation with consumer protection.

“Fintech Nexus is the exclusive event and logistics partner of the AFC and we are proud to be working with them to help produce the Fall’s leading fintech policy and regulatory event in Washington, D.C.” said Peter Renton Co-Founder and Chairman of Fintech Nexus.
