Who We Are

We’re fostering economic growth and moving America forward by providing credit to consumers, businesses, and other financial institutions, and supporting robust capital markets.

About the Forum

The Financial Services Forum is an economic policy and advocacy organization whose members are the chief executive officers of the eight largest and most diversified financial institutions headquartered in the United States. The Forum promotes policies that support savings and investment, financial inclusion, deep and liquid capital markets, a competitive global marketplace, and a sound financial system.
