October 11-12, 2022

Read Time: 1 min

Member Aaron Kouhoupt (Cleveland) will participate in two sessions during the upcoming INFiN Money Trends 2022 Conference in Austin, Texas.

On Tuesday, October 11, Aaron will run a workshop session on “Bank Model Lending Programs-A Deep Dive Into the Legal Parameters,” during which he will explore the legal aspects of various “bank model” lending programs. The session will cover “traditional” bank partner programs, in which a FinTech platform partners with a state or federally chartered financial institution; FinTechs partnering with a non-financial institution state licensed lending partner; and direct FinTech lending. Aaron will also explore the pros and cons of the various models and licensing schemes.

On Wednesday, October 12, Aaron will participate in a panel discussion on “Industry Legal and Regulatory Issues.”

INFiN, a Financial Services Alliance, is a leading national trade association representing the diverse and innovative consumer financial services industry. McGlinchey is pleased to support INFiN as a Gold Sponsor of this year’s conference.
