CDFIs provide banking services to people who would not otherwise have access to these basic services.
Thank you to our partners at Inclusive and CDBA for sharing data on CDFI Bank and CDFI Credit Union branch locations. In addition, about 100 of our CDFI Stories come from OFN’s story database.
CDFIs provide banking services to people who would not otherwise have access to these basic services.
We support CDFI lending.
The impact that CDFI credit unions can make in lower income areas by providing financial tools for the community raises the financial independence of individuals in that area and then lessens the amount of ongoing aid that needs to be provided by the government directly to those communities.
We believe people are more than just a credit score. We believe Lending helps the Community and we do the lending that others will not.
