The American Financial Services Association (AFSA) will host 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 aims to address the rapid changes in the lending industry as borrowers increasingly expect mobile-first and digital services. According to AFSA, traditional lenders with physical locations are losing market share to online competitors that provide fully digital experiences.
During the session, representatives from Vergent LMS and Bloom Analytics will discuss how their platforms help lenders modernize operations and offer seamless online convenience throughout the loan process. The goal is to enable traditional lenders to remain competitive without losing their local connections.
Speakers include Brad Tompkins, Chief Information Officer of Vergent LMS, and Jimmy Whatley, Chief Executive Officer of Bloom Analytics.
Registration for the webinar is open on AFSA's website.
