Charter & Partner Bootcamp with AFC & Klaros

Join AFC, Orrick and Klaros for an interactive Charter & Partner Bootcamp designed to get beyond the theoretical and into the real-world decisions shaping bank charters and fintech partnerships. Through candid conversations and small-group breakouts, we’ll explore lessons from those who pursued a charter, those who chose to stay partnered, and those still weighing the decision, along with how today’s regulatory and political environment should factor into decisions for the years ahead.
Come ready to ask questions, compare experiences and leave with practical insights from those who have lived and advised on these decisions firsthand.
