Four Letters with a Lot to Say
A Community Development Financial Institution, or CDFI for short, is a designation awarded to local financial institutions that not only want their communities to endure but to prosper. CDFIs recognize that only through collaboration and pooled resources can the most good and positive change be realized.
There isn’t much more in line with the credit union mentality of cooperative finance than the desire to enrich the community that surrounds us.
We’re keenly focused on the financial wellbeing of our members, and are dedicated to preserving an open space for all to join.
Not Just a CDFI, but Your CDFI
We talk a lot about community and with good reason. Too many feel they don’t have a community—or worse, that theirs is vanishing. And we refuse to let that happen.
At Vicinity Credit Union, community isn’t just a buzzword. It’s our entire reason for being, and there’s no better way to prove our dedication than finding ways to build ours up. That’s exactly why we obtained our CDFI designation: To build our community up, together!
