The American Financial Services Association (AFSA) is hosting a webinar titled "Compete or Vanish: A Survival Guide for Lenders in the Age of Online Borrowing" on October 16, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. EST. The event addresses the rapid changes in lending, particularly as borrowers increasingly expect mobile-first services.
According to AFSA, traditional lenders with physical locations are losing business to online competitors who provide fully digital experiences. The webinar aims to help these lenders adapt by leveraging technology to deliver seamless online convenience throughout the loan process.
Speakers for the session include Brad Tompkins, Chief Information Officer at Vergent LMS, and Jimmy Whatley, Chief Executive Officer at Bloom Analytics. They will discuss how their respective platforms can enable lenders to modernize operations while maintaining connections with local communities.
Registration information is available through AFSA’s channels.
