Survey results released today by the US-based Equipment and Finance Association (ELFA) found that compensation in the equipment finance industry grew moderately in 2018.

The survey measures compensation rates for the 2018 fiscal year as reported by more than 75 companies representing a cross section of the equipment finance sector. This includes independents, banks and captives.

This included a breakdown of salary (for 2018 and 2019) incentives that include cash bonus and commissions, long term awards and total compensation by company type.

Highlights from the survey included total compensation increased on a year-over-year basis for most functions and levels.

Total compensation was up modestly from between 2-6% at median for key revenue generation functions from 2017 -2018.
