When it comes to conferences, you have options—but none are tailored to your business like MoneyTrends. While other high-priced conferences focus on "big banks" and Wall Street, we focus on you—the payday lenders, check cashers, and financial service providers on Main Street who serve underbanked communities every day. If your customers need quick cash, bill payments, or money transfers; if you work face-to-face, hold state licenses, and know your regulators personally—MoneyTrends is your space. We get what you do, and we're here to help you grow, adapt, and thrive. Join us for three days of targeted education, networking, and real-world solutions designed for businesses like yours. Don't miss out—this is your conference! Visit https://lnkd.in/ecM_5mrm to register today!

While legislative and regulatory issues that come from Washington, DC get most of the publicity, state legislative and regulatory challenges have become more acute than ever for our industry. Opponents of the industry have seized on opportunities in the states to change enabling laws to eliminate or limit our businesses. In most cases, the best defense to these challenges comes from state licensed companies that can demonstrate their investment in communities and make the case for preservation of credit and other regulated financial products and services. To meet these challenges, INFiN’s support of members has been greater than ever, and we are adding even more tools to assist you in battleground states. Join us for General Session III, on Wednesday, October 30, beginning at 9:00 AM, where experienced professionals who have faced these challenges will discuss the various issues facing the industry, the states in which the most urgent challenges exist, the strategies that have been successful, and the offerings available to INFiN members. This two-part presentation will include a roundtable discussion and a demonstration of how we can put the industry’s best face forward. This session will also highlight the value of state based organizations to leverage valuable resources, and how INFiN can assist operators to establish an effective association to represent your business and aid in the fight.
