American Fintech Council

There are many "AI in financial services" conversations out there; this is not one of those. Let's get specific about AI in #payments and #lending and talk about what the future might hold. #fintech #partnerbanking Thanks to @FintechPolicyUS for hosting!

Our Senior Counsel, Digital Assets & Fintech Banking, Barry Goldbrenner, will be at Nacha's Smarter Faster Payments conference, speaking alongside Ian P. Maloney from @FintechPolicyUS, Alex Treece from @Stablecores, and Keith Vander Leest from @BVNKFinance. They'll explore the evolving role of financial institutions in the stablecoin ecosystem, opportunities for innovation, and the growing urgency of establishing clear legal and regulatory frameworks. If you’re interested in a multi-stakeholder perspective on how to build a stablecoin infrastructure that is safe, scalable, and compliant, don’t miss this discussion.

#EWA programs benefit workers across the country, making it more likely that they will be able to avoid high-cost credit products like #PaydayLoans. Efforts to restrict them will harm consumers, writes @YPGoldfeder, of @FintechPolicyUS, in @AmerBanker @BankThink. More here: bit.ly/4ts5kNM

One of our earliest members, #Pathward didn’t just join #AFC, they helped shape it! Now they join our Board! A national bank, they are building the infrastructure that lets fintech companies grow while expanding financial access for the consumers and businesses who need it most!

Very well said! A must read 👇if you care about rational and appropriate regulation and compromise!

Few rare leaders like @SoFi who can bring together such a diverse group of financial services policy leaders for robust partnership and collaboration! Thank you @anthonynoto for building one of the best policy teams in #fintech! @TGL

Let federally regulated banks—including community banks—offer yield on payment stablecoins and let's finish the job on digital asset market structure. My op-ed: coindesk.com/opinion/2026/0… via @coindesk

The OCC is supporting a healthy economy that provides the American people with access to banking services that meet their unique needs by aligning innovation with proper supervision. forbes.com/sites/christer…

People don’t often expect how easy it can be to work with colleagues across the aisle. 
At the 2025 American Fintech Council Policy Summit (@FintechPolicyUS), I joined a panel of legislators from around the country for Statehouses to Startups: Legislating the Future of Finance One State at a Time. 
In this clip, I share how conversations after hearings and in informal moments often get good ideas moving, and how treating staff well is key to making collaboration work. Stay tuned for more from this panel discussion.

Yelling, laughing, and at least one person dramatically leaving over the pumpkin v pecan argument! Now it's really #Thanksgiving! We’re thankful for our members who help shape this community and advance AFC’s mission to promote an innovative and transparent financial system!

The future of finance is a democratized system where technology speeds innovation and increases access to capital. It was an honor to join the members & leadership of the @FintechPolicyUS as a speaker at their Annual Policy Summit. Thank you to everyone who joined us tonight.

What an amazing #AFCSummit2025. So great to see the #fintech and #partnerbanking crew and talk more about how we build on an already innovative foundation. I’m looking forward to seeing what happens over the next year! #letsgetbuilding Thanks, as always, to @YPGoldfeder and the @FintechPolicyUS team for putting on another incredible event. We’re definitely going to need a bigger venue next year! Loved to hear from Jonathan Gould and his innovative approach to how the OCC interacts with partner banks. Great things happening!

We’re ready for you!!
