Welcome to National Marine Lenders Association

 

Our mission here at the NMLA is simple, Promote, Improve, & Grow the recreational marine lending industry within the US.

Over our 40 plus year history, we have educated our current members and prospective lenders about healthy marine lending practices.  Our annual Marine Lenders Conference and the Lenders Workshop are paramount in the education process.  These events also serve as the foundation for our members to create new and preserve existing relationships with industry stakeholders.  Beyond the networking and communication opportunities the association provides, the NMLA also strives to maintain a legislative and regulatory voice for advocacy for both the marine/recreational and lending/banking industries.  Exclusive retail loan and floorplan financing statistics and trends are distributed to members throughout the year.  This information, along with the various management tools provided via our website allow for the continued health and profitability of our members and the greater marine lending industry.
