Strategic Partnerships AFC has been actively expanding its ecosystem through multiple partnerships in 2026, including PwC, FloatMe, Womble Bond Dickinson Wealth, Lithic, Nelnet, and a cross-border collaboration with Israel Fintech Center. This indicates a strong opening for co-sell and solution integration opportunities with AFC members and partners.

Policy Summit Engagement The 10th Annual fintech Policy Summit signals AFC’s central role in policy influence and thought leadership. This creates a pathway to offer regulatory compliance, risk management, and public policy advisory services to AFC members preparing for policy changes and advocacy needs.

Fintech Wellness Focus Recent partnerships with FloatMe to advance responsible financial wellness solutions suggest AFC members are prioritizing consumer financial health. Opportunities exist to offer embedded budgeting, savings, credit-building, or financial wellness tools to member companies serving underserved populations.

Programmable Payments Lithic partnership highlights a demand for programmable card issuing and money movement capabilities within AFC. SDRs can target member fintechs and banks needing scalable payments infrastructure, card issuance, and secure transaction workflows.

Growth and Scale Opportunity With a revenue range of 10M-25M and a small to mid-size employee base, AFC members are likely in growth mode seeking efficiency, compliance, and strategic advisory. This creates upsell opportunities for financial services, consulting, risk, and technology modernization solutions tailored to fast-growing fintechs and innovative banks.
