Regulatory intelligence platform provides financial institutions and fintechs with automated solutions for new licensing applications, maintenance, renewals and regulatory changes across the entire U.S.

San Francisco, CA (October 27, 2026) – The American Fintech Council (AFC), the largest industry association representing both responsible fintech companies and innovative banks, announced the addition of Brico as its newest member. Brico is the regulatory intelligence platform that simplifies the financial licensing and regulatory compliance process across all 50 states, helping financial companies obtain licenses, maintain them and stay compliant as they grow. As a member of AFC, Brico will contribute to industry efforts to streamline a complex regulatory landscape and promote fair, transparent, and compliant financial services.

“Ensuring robust regulatory compliance is essential for creating a financial system that is both inclusive and responsible for consumers and businesses,” said Phil Goldfeder, CEO of the American Fintech Council. “Brico’s approach to simplifying the licensing and regulatory compliance process allows fintechs and banks to dedicate more resources to serving consumers while maintaining the highest standards of regulatory adherence. We look forward to collaborating with Brico as we continue to help responsible financial institutions navigate complex state and federal frameworks.”

Brico turns a licensing and regulatory process once managed through spreadsheets and manual tracking into software built to scale. Supporting money transmission, consumer lending, debt collection, mortgage and crypto licenses, Brico’s centralized platform uses smart data mapping to automate periodic reporting, flag new federal and state filing requirements, and reduce the time spent sourcing and maintaining compliance obligations. This infrastructure allows money services businesses, lenders, startups, and established financial institutions to launch faster, maintain business continuity, and scale their operations with confidence while maintaining strict compliance standards.

“Brico provides the infrastructure that makes financial licensing and the regulatory compliance process seamless, so companies can grow with confidence,” said Christina Luk, VP of Operations & Compliance and Founding Team member at Brico. “When an acquisition, a new market expansion, a partnership, or a new product is on the table, readiness is what separates the companies that win. We’re proud to bring that perspective to the American Fintech Council and to work alongside a growing coalition of fintechs and forward-thinking banks building the future of financial services and a more transparent, accessible financial system.”

A standards-based organization, the American Fintech Council (AFC) is the largest and most diverse trade association representing financial technology (fintech) companies and innovative banks. On behalf of nearly 175 member companies and partners, AFC promotes a transparent, inclusive, and customer-centric financial system by supporting responsible innovation in financial services and encouraging sound public policy. AFC members foster competition in consumer finance and pioneer products to better serve underserved consumer segments and geographies.
