I have wanted to change banks for years. We have been with a large, national bank for many years. Banking has been a real pain, especially since the pandemic. Our local branch closed in March of 2020 and even though we are in Florida and things here reopened quicker than many other places around the country, our bank branch never reopened. They did still have ATMs open so that was helpful, until they closed the ATMs on April 1, 2022. Now when I need cash I have to drive to the next town to use an in network ATM. That is just not acceptable. This is just one reason why I’m so glad I recently learned about AdelFi Bank.
AdelFi Bank is part of a nationwide ATM network. I used the locator on the website and put in my zip code and there are 100 ATMs in my area, 2 right in my neighborhood. Most of my banking is done online or via an app but there are some locations that require cash payment so I’m happy to know it is easily accessible nationwide.
More importantly than ATM access though is the fact that AdelFi Bank is a bank with Christian values. I never knew such a thing existed! I have cringed many times when I have seen my current bank supporting or sponsoring things that I in no way would want to be associated with because they go against my personal beliefs. I always thought that there were no other choices, but I was wrong.
Think about it. Do you know where your bank gives and invests its money? Does it align with your values? By placing your financial resources with AdelFi, you’re uniting your finances with other believers to advance Christian values with empathy and compassion. AdelFi supports thousands of Christian organizations worldwide that spread the Gospel with AdelFi’s commitment to giving back 10% of its profits every year to support Christian ministries, missions, and non profit organizations. Whether you’re starting a family, running a business, or serving a non-profit or ministry, AdelFi has products and services that align with your financial goals and Christian values. Partner with like-minded people and still access the technology and services that makes day-to-day finance transactions easy. How cool is that?
“Recycling Christian Dollars – In a recent study by AdelFi, it found that young Christian consumers gave nearly 3x more than non-Christians. However, when supporting business that aligned with what they aligned with their beliefs/causes, they were no different than non-Christians. And in some instances, non-Christians cared more than Christians about doing business with organizations that aligned with their non-Christian beliefs. This was mainly due to the fact that there aren’t many Christian businesses marketing its values. At AdelFi, we believe that as stewards of God’s money, we support fellow Christian businesses and understand the need to promote the intersection of faith and finances. Daily purchase interactions should have a form of tithing daily. Where you bank has a ripple effect on how resources get used or recycled within the Christian community. Banking with AdelFi means more support to fellow Christian consumers, businesses, churches, non-profits, and causes. In fact, AdelFi is a not-for-profit credit union, where the money doesn’t go to wall street, but to God’s streets – where the Gospel is spread domestically and internationally. “
As a Christian I do care where my hard earned money goes. There are many brands and businesses I don’t support because they have made their belief in ungodly things known to the world. There are a few Christian brands that I wholeheartedly stand behind because they have made their love of Jesus a focal point of who they are. If you are like me, and are ready to switch to Christ centered banking, just click that link for more info, and to open your account. It’s time we put our money where our faith is and move to a bank with Christian values.
