What is CDFI?
Community Development Financial Institutions are community-based, non-profit, or for-profit financial institutions. Connections Credit Union CDFI's mission is to empower underserved, underbanked, and impoverished individuals and communities through accessible financial services, resources, and education, resulting in financial well-being and economic growth.
Connections Credit Union received the CDFI designation in 2022!
