Thrivent Financial is a not-for-profit financial services organization headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Appleton, Wisconsin and founded by Lutherans. As a member-owned fraternal benefit society, it operates under a chapter system, serving nearly 2.3 million members.
Thrivent notes that one of two contracts it entered into with Hutchinson contains a mandatory arbitration provision (Filing No. 1-2) and, therefore, it commenced an arbitration claim with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) concurrently with this action. -Michael Hutchinson v. Thrivent Financial (2012)
