Lending where it matters most

We are a designated Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI), giving us the opportunity to support low-income communities through special lending programs and federal grant funds.
Since being certified as a CDFI in 2022, we have received two CDFI grants totaling $1.46 million. We match the grant funds and disburse them as loans to individuals and businesses in historically underserved communities. We are passionate about sparking economic growth through CDFI loans as a way to create positive change in our communities. Our CDFI grant programs:
- Support household stabilization
- Provide affordable financing for members struggling with previous predatory auto loan rates, payday loan debt cycles, and high interest debt
- Provide inclusive banking solutions for low-income households

Creating Paths to Prosperity

ACFCU’s positive impact in the community begins with how we serve our members each day. We listen to each of their stories and work hard to find solutions to help them thrive. We pride ourselves on inclusive banking solutions that create a ripple effect to uplift the entire community, including:

Customized partnerships with safety net nonprofits to create financial stability for their clients
Individual financial counseling to build financial knowledge and strength
Philosophy that a member’s financial past doesn’t have to dictate their financial future
