Give Your Money a Higher Purpose

By placing your financial resources at AdelFi, you're uniting your finances with other believers to advance Christian values. You can make an impact simply by using any of our products and taking advantage of our easy-to-use digital resources. Whether you’re starting a family, running a business, or serving a non-profit or ministry, AdelFi has the products and services that align with your financial goals and Christian values.

 

Do you know what your financial institution invests your money in?

Any time you deposit money into a Big Bank, take out a loan, or make a credit/debit card transaction, you're giving it the financial capital needed to lend, invest, support, and give to all kinds of causes, businesses, or organizations. Because you don't have control over the purpose or final destination of your money, you're likely supporting things that don't align with your values. In fact, many Big Banks, as a business practice, do not invest in or support Christian organizations.

  • AdelFi provides  loans and banking services only to our members, who align with our Statement of Faith.
  • We will never lend to, invest in, or support businesses or organizations that promote cannabis/alcohol/tobacco, adult entertainment, political causes, or those that defy traditional Christian family values and education.
  • Each year we give at least 10% of our profits to support Christian organizations doing God’s work. Since we started our Give Back program in 2022, we've given over $4 million.
  • AdelFi staff also volunteered 750 hours in 2023 to non-profits, ministries, and organizations committed to serving the Lord and spreading His word.

 

Does your financial institution prioritize people over profits?

Many Big Banks prioritize profits as they are for-profit organizations that aim to generate returns for their shareholders. Their primary goal is to profit by earning interest on loans, charging fees for services, and investing their capital.

  • AdelFi exists to serve God and our members, not investors.
  • We are a member-owned, not-for-profit financial institution where our members own us, not investors or Wall Street.
  • As a leading Christian financial institution with nearly six decades of banking history, we welcome ALL believers that align with our Statement of Faith
  • We welcome everyone who supports uniting Christian dollars and stewarding God’s financial resources for a common purpose.

 

Does your financial institution have a history of honest banking practices?

There's no simple way to determine whether a Big Bank is ethical or not, but with some research and by asking the right questions, you may uncover a history of unfair, deceptive, or abusive practices. 

  • AdelFi believes in responsible banking, where we will only lend to individuals that have the financial means to repay.
  • As a not-for-profit member-owned financial institution, our corporate status allows us to offer low-rate auto or personal loans with clear and flexible terms and the service you deserve.
  • We provide easy-to-understand checking and saving account options that allow you to waive fees simply by opting out of paper statements.
  • You’ll have peace of mind knowing that you can access your money through 5,600+ participating U.S. branch locations and 30,000+ surcharge-free CO-OP ATMs.

Where AdelFi Gives and Invest its Money

Unlike traditional big banks, which may invest their customers' money in causes that may not be aligned with Christian values or financial institutions that are beholden to Wall Street investors, AdelFi is owned and controlled by its members who share the same faith. Supporting individuals, families, ministries, businesses, and those wanting their banks to be aligned with their same values is what separates AdelFi from others in the industry.

What Our Members Say

Your customer service has been outstanding to date. Whenever I talk to an AdelFi representative over the phone, there is a "can-do" attitude. Not to mention, I am glad to know that the Lord's resources are being used to further His Kingdom. It means a lot to me.

Just wanted to thank you for your Start Young accounts. Between breaking up wrestling matches among our three boys, we try to impart some character-building skills, and your kids accounts are helping them become more responsible with their money. We appreciate that your team is watching out for us and our boys.

– Andrea & Doug B.

In this season of our lives, we like to be good stewards with our money and handle it according to God’s values. It just makes sense to entrust our money to a strong and growing institution like AdelFi that supports the same biblical ideals we believe in.
