History
Afni, Inc. got its start in the credit and collections industry, founded in 1936 by Louis V. "Red" Slavens in downtown Bloomington, Ill. In 1976, Earl Anderson purchased the company; in 1985 he was joined by new general manager Bruce Griffin, who soon began opening satellite offices around the country that reported to a central hub with the new name Anderson Financial Network, Inc. Ronald Greene joined in 1992; in 1995 Bruce and Ron purchased the company, relocating to its current headquarters at 404 Brock Drive in Bloomington.
The company began a period of immense growth, expanding from a traditional collection agency to providing customer interaction services. From 1997-1999, centers opened in southeast Tucson, Ariz.; Peoria, Ill.; and a second facility in Bloomington. Expansion continued from 2000-2002, with centers opening in Bowling Green, Ky.; Opelika, Ala.; northwest Tucson; a third facility in both Bloomington and Tucson; a St. Charles, Mo., office; and, most recently, a new facility in San Antonio, Texas. Also during this time, the company name changed to Afni, Inc.
Afni has experienced tremendous growth in its 70+ years, with expansion into new services and new industries. But one thing has remained constant: Our steadfast commitment to becoming partners in your business-and treating your customers as if they were our own.
