“It’s an honor to be included in the American Banker 2024 list of Most Influential Women in Fintech, alongside so many other inspirational women,” said Dru Armstrong, CEO of AffiniPay. “Since joining AffiniPay in 2021, we’ve had incredible momentum and it’s been so rewarding to work closely with our talented leadership team to influence how financial technology can benefit our customers and push the operations of the legal industry forward.”
