For over 100 years, AFSA has been the primary trade association for the consumer credit industry – protecting access to credit and consumer choice. No other trade group in America has more depth and influence on consumer finance issues. AFSA serves over 410 member companies from every segment of the consumer credit marketplace, as well as industry suppliers. Our longevity is a result of our commitment to providing our members with unmatched and unparalleled benefits. The total value of membership is far greater than the total cost.
