We created CFI’s Fintech Membership especially for financial leaders from traditional banks, neobanks or challengers, and businesses who are looking for leading edge content on financial technology trends, digital strategy, and operational considerations.


Our annual professional membership fee for individual financial leaders is $1,000. Students at UC Merced interested in participating in the Fintech Learning Lab may sign up for free and must provide their student ID to register.


With membership, you can take full advantage of our offerings with one easy annual payment. It's simple and lets you keep up to date on important fintech innovations.


Membership Benefits

Attend Fintech Symposia. Each month we host a virtual symposium where a practitioner, thought leader, or faculty member introduces a topic of interest for members to hear about and discuss with each other.


Access to FINTalks. As working professionals, attending a full course on fintech is not a feasible option. Instead, virtual mini-lectures have been developed that provide individuals with access to research, case studies, and other actionable information to learn about fintech.


Learning Lab. As a center dedicated to innovation, you have an opportunity to observe new innovations being developed by student teams in response to challenges identified in the field. As a member, you can post challenges for teams to work on and participate as a judge on the panels.
