Looking for a bank that actually shares your values? AdelFi is the largest faith-based credit union in the United States — a financial home for believers who want their money to do more than just sit in an account.^1
Formerly known as Evangelical Christian Credit Union (ECCU), AdelFi was founded in 1964 and rebranded in 2022 with a name drawn from the Greek word 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 The merged credit union tithes at least 10% of its profits each year to Christian nonprofits, ministries, and organizations — funding everything from church planting to missionary support to Christian education.^3
AdelFi offers checking and savings accounts, auto and personal loans, credit cards, wire transfers, and business banking. Their mobile app features mobile check deposit, bill pay, debit card management, real-time account monitoring, and an ATM/shared branch locator.^4 Every member also gets free access to biblically-based financial stewardship courses through a partnership with Crown Financial Ministries — covering budgeting, saving, giving, and living debt-free.^5
Why Christians Love It"I love this bank. As somebody who is in Iowa there is no banks around me that are like this. I like that I bank with a bank that supports like beliefs, and morals."^4
"So far it's been a pleasure banking with AdelFi thanks to their app design."^4
"For many years we have had great service."^4
