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 $652 million financial cooperative with over 32,000 members and 12 branches 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 invests over $50,000 annually in scholarships from kindergarten through post-secondary education, focused on Life & Family, Works of Mercy, and Evangelization.^4
Their annual Heart for the Holidays program raised over $44,000 in 2023 to bring Christmas joy to families facing hardship, collaborating with Catholic organizations and local parishes to identify those in need.^5 They also recently adopted AI-powered credit underwriting through Scienaptic AI, increasing instant loan approvals by over 40% for vehicle and personal loans — helping more members get the financial help they need, faster.^6
