CDFIs and Credit Unions help people of modest means when other FI’s do not. We are the last bastion of hope in banking for the little guy.
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.
I support CDFIs because they provide essential financial services to underserved communities, helping individuals and businesses access capital that traditional banks often overlook.
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.
