Want a bank that shares your values? AdelFi — soon to be fully rebranded as AdelFi Christian Banking — is the largest faith-based credit union in the United States, a financial home for believers who want their money to serve God's Kingdom, not Wall Street.^1
Founded in 1964 as Conservative Baptist Credit Union and formerly known as Evangelical Christian Credit Union (ECCU), the institution rebranded to AdelFi in 2022 — a name drawn from the Greek adelphos, meaning brothers and sisters in Christ.^2 In December 2025, AdelFi merged with Christian Community Credit Union (CCCU), combining over 125 years of ministry-focused financial service into one institution now serving members across all 50 states and 130+ countries.^1 By the end of 2026, the merged credit union will fully transition to the name AdelFi Christian Banking.^3
AdelFi tithes at least 10% of its profits each year to Christian nonprofits, ministries, and organizations — funding church planting, missionary support, Christian education, and compassion ministries.^4 Every member also gets free access to biblically-based financial stewardship courses through a partnership with Crown Financial Ministries — covering budgeting, saving, giving, debt management, and even a teen stewardship course with a parent guide.^5
AdelFi offers checking and savings accounts, certificates, auto and personal loans, credit cards, wire transfers, and business banking. In July 2025, the credit union launched a new digital banking platform powered by Alkami — a J.D. Power-certified provider — bringing a modern, feature-rich experience to both retail and business members.^6 Their mobile app features mobile check deposit, bill pay, debit card management, real-time account monitoring, financial wellness tools with credit score tracking, and an ATM/shared branch locator.^7
