Tom Nix is the founder of one of the largest alternative financial services providers in California. Along the way he overcame armed robberies, cutthroat competition, and an assassination threat by the Chicago Mob. In 2007 he sold the company to Kinecta Federal Credit Union for 45 million dollars, creating an opportunity for true over-the-counter, traditional banking in under-served communities. In fact, Tom’s check cashing stores provided the only banking service available during the 1992 L.A. Riots.
