The Secured Finance Network strives to be the essential community for all organizations and professionals who deliver and enable secured finance. With nearly 300 member companies and a 20,000-person active community including 22 chapters located throughout the United States, Canada and Europe, we continue to broaden our reach and impact. We further engage the international community through our active work with the United Nations and World Bank. 

Who can join?
Association membership is available to both lenders and service providers who enable secured financing. Membership is at the company level (employees of member companies are eligible for association benefits). Proprietorships, partnerships, limited liability companies, corporations and other business entities engaged in secured commercial lending, factoring, accounts receivable discounting or other forms of secured finance are eligible for membership.
