How Two Christian Credit Unions Became One
AdelFi brings together the legacy of two established Christian credit unions that served believers, families, churches, and ministries for generations. For more than 60 years, AdelFi served Christian families, ministries, and businesses with practical banking rooted in faith and a heart for service. For nearly 70 years, AdelFi supported believers and ministries with financial tools shaped by generosity and a commitment to God’s work.
Together, these histories reflect a shared calling: helping Christians manage their finances in a way that reflects their faith and supports something greater than themselves. United as one, we can serve more believers, more ministries, and more communities than either could alone.
As one credit union, AdelFi serves members nationwide with expanded products, strong digital tools, and thoughtful service, all grounded in the same values that have guided both institutions for decades: integrity, compassion, excellence, and faith.
The people you trust are still here. The mission remains the same. What has grown is our ability to serve you well.
AdelFi continues building a Christ-centered financial community that helps individuals, families, churches, and ministries thrive and helps their finances create lasting Kingdom impact around the world.
