Managing money as a person of faith shouldn't mean choosing between your values and modern banking tools. Alliance Catholic Credit Union, Michigan's Catholic credit union, has served the Catholic community since 1956 — growing from a single parish credit union into a financial cooperative with members across the state.^1
Their free mobile banking app gives members full access to check balances, view transaction history, pay bills, transfer funds, make mobile deposits, and pay loans — all from their phone.^2 The app supports both iOS and Android and is updated regularly with improvements to navigation, accounts, and mobile deposit features.^3
What sets Alliance Catholic apart is how deeply its Catholic identity shapes everything it does. The credit union offers parish accounts for congregations, ITIN mortgages for immigrant families, bilingual financial wellness workshops in English and Spanish, and university checking accounts through partnerships with Madonna University and the University of Detroit Mercy.^1 In 2020 they launched the Alliance Catholic Foundation, a 501(c)(3) that awards tens of thousands of dollars annually in scholarships from kindergarten through post-secondary education, focused on Life & Family, Works of Mercy, and Evangelization.^4
They earned the national Juntos Avanzamos ("Together We Advance") designation from Inclusiv, recognizing their commitment to serving Hispanic and Latino communities with equitable financial access.^5 In 2026, they were named a MemberXP Best of the Best Award winner for Best Overall Member Experience — a national honor voted on by credit union members themselves.^6
Their annual Heart for the Holidays program raises funds to bring Christmas joy to families facing hardship, collaborating with Catholic organizations and local parishes to identify those in need.^7 They also partnered with the Walking with Moms in Need initiative and serve as an official sponsor of Catholic Charities of Southeast Michigan.^8
