Join us February 19 for the First Virtual Meetup
MAPconnected invites you to join the Financial Products & Insurance Xchange Group, an OEM-exclusive executive benchmarking forum for leaders responsible for financial products, insurance, extended service contracts, and enterprise risk. The group provides a trusted, closed-door environment for senior executives to benchmark performance, exchange best practices, and collaborate on shared challenges related to financial product structure, risk management, and customer loyalty.
The first session, Program Structure & Risk Architecture, will take place virtually on February 19, 2026 (3:00–4:15 pm EST) and will be facilitated by benchmarking expert Jimmy Bynum, CEO of Garde Solutions. Participants will benchmark how OEMs and dealers design and govern financial product risk across warranty, extended service contracts, and traditional insurance for financed equipment.
Topics include:
- Risk Ownership & Allocation: Who assumes risk and how it’s shared
- Governance & Oversight: Decision-making structures and policies
- Capital & Reserves: Funding strategies and capital efficiency
- Portfolio Integration & Dealer Alignment: Coordinating programs and managing dealer performance
The Xchange Group will meet 4 times annually, combining virtual peer round-robins with one in-person executive session at the annual Service & Warranty Lifecycle Summit. Each session is facilitated to ensure structured, compliant, and outcome-focused benchmarking.
Participation in the Xchange Group will require active MAPconnected Annual Membership, which includes access to a broader executive ecosystem:

- Prepaid tickets to the 2026 Service & Warranty Lifecycle Summit (Oct 19–21, Detroit)
