Disruptive Innovation from China-Movers&Shakers in the Global FinTech Scene

The Chinese Finance Association (TCFA) was founded in the U.S. in 1994. TCFA has served as a central venue for Chinese professionals and students to exchange ideas, to learn from each other, and to advance their careers. Since the beginning, TCFA has served as a bridge between the U.S. and China in the field of finance. We have organized international conferences and hosted many delegates from China. Some of our former directors and current members presently serve as government officials and private sector professionals in China. TCFA is proud of its non-profit status, as our teams and board members all work on a volunteer basis.
