CAFBA enters partnership with US equipment finance association

The Commercial and Asset Finance Association of Australia (CAFBA) is joining forces with the US-based National Equipment Finance Association (NEFA) to foster cross-border collaboration.

The two associations signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that will see them collaborate on numerous initiatives to the benefit of their members.

These include:

  • Cross-promotion and engagement opportunities

  • Reciprocal membership access for both membership bases

  • Joint research initiatives “focused on industry advancement, including the ethical and effective use of artificial intelligence in finance broking”

  • Educational and professional development programs

  • Collaboration on advocacy and regulatory matters

  • Sharing of data, insights and best practices

“By joining forces with NEFA, we are creating a bridge between two thriving finance communities,” said CAFBA chief executive David Bushby (pictured). “Together, we will advance education, professionalism and advocacy on a global scale, to better serve brokers, lenders and clients alike.”

NEFA chief executive Chad Sluss added: “This partnership marks an exciting step in expanding NEFA’s global reach, in aligning with CAFBA to share knowledge, insights, and opportunities that benefit our members and strengthen our community worldwide.”
