About TFTA

Our Mission

Building a Connected Financial Ecosystem

The Transpacific Finance and Trade Association (TFTA) is a U.S.-based industry association representing a diverse cross-section of the digital finance sector and commercial trade. We exist to foster collaboration, advocate for sound policy, and facilitate market access across the Asia-America corridor.

Our membership spans the full spectrum of modern financial services—from regulated payment networks and financial infrastructure providers to investment managers, professional advisory firms, and digital asset innovators. This integrated view allows TFTA to address complex, cross-cutting issues that no single sector can tackle alone.

We are a cross-border platform focused on connecting regulated and supervised entities with emerging financial technology participants, driving dialogue between Washington, D.C. and key Asian financial centers including Singapore, Hong Kong, Tokyo, and beyond.
