Colorado Financial Services Association

The Trade Association for Colorado Financial Lenders
and Residential Mortgage Lender Licensees Since 1933

The Colorado Financial Services Association is a non-profit trade association representing major national and international corporations and independent lenders licensed by the State of Colorado to provide a broad range of financial services, including consumer and commercial loans, retail installment financing, automobile and mobile home financing, home purchase and home equity loans, credit cards, and lines of credit. Our knowledgeable lobbyists, a committee of legal counselors, and public relations experts act as liaisons between the finance industry and decision-makers in Colorado.

COFSA's mission is to strive to foster ethical practices and high standards of conduct in the finance industry. The goal is to improve conditions within the industry and promote a greater knowledge and understanding of the economic and social aspects of consumer lending to all Coloradoans, with an emphasis on the Colorado Legislature and regulatory bodies. Since members represent a unified force of finance lenders, this helps bolster the message of the industry and provides individual companies with a voice in the lawmaking process they might not otherwise enjoy.
