The Wisconsin Financial Services Association is a non-profit trade association representing major national and international corporations licensed by the State of Wisconsin to provide a broad range of financial services, such as consumer and commercial loans, retail installment financing, automobile and mobile home financing, home purchase and home equity loans, credit cards, and lines of credit.

WFSA'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 Wisconsin residents, with an emphasis on the Wisconsin 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 an effective and proven voice in the lawmaking and rulemaking process.
