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.
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.
Our organization serves entrepreneurs and small businesses in Southeast Missouri. Located in the 8th Congressional District, the poorest district in the state, our customers rely on our program and the funding available through programs like the CDFI to get started and stay open. While not a CDFI yet we have plans to apply for TA and move forward for certification this year.
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.
