This is a part of that participation; it will escalate Fincra’s presence nationally and globally. We will be participating in business and commerce events in Britain as we constantly search for trends and best practices across businesses. It ties in with our interest as a payment infrastructure company; we want to understand all sectors of businesses and look for ways to offer our solutions.”
