One Coalition, Many Connections: How Our Regional Sites Strengthen the North American Fintech Ecosystem
One Coalition, Many Connections: How Our Regional Sites Strengthen the North American Fintech Ecosystem
July 11, 2025
The North American Fintech Coalition (NAFC) is a single, unified nonprofit with a continental mission: to connect credit unions, community banks, fintech startups, and investors to drive innovation in financial services. But we know that innovation happens locally—and relationships start with people in your own community.
That’s why we created regional websites for different parts of the U.S. and Canada. These aren’t separate organizations. They are all part of NAFC: The same mission and same overall leadership, but with a local focus.
So what’s different?
Each regional site concentrates on four initiatives:
● Developing local events and meetups where people can collaborate in person.
● Spotlighting community leaders, startups, and stories from within the region.
● Strengthening real-world connections between fintechs and financial institutions.
● Creating accessible entry points for founders, banks, and investors to engage.
From the Cascadia region to the Southeast and across seven total regions, our goal is the same: Empower financial institutions with innovation by making connections easier, faster, and more impactful—right where you live and work.
These regional hubs help us build stronger local ecosystems, which in turn strengthen the national network. Together, they ensure we stay inclusive, rooted, and ready to scale bold ideas into real impact.
