Mission Statement:
To encourage the economical management within the association of believers of all denominations through education and providing resources for credit.
Company Goals and 0bjectives:
Our goal is to help faith based organizations establish credit unions that will offer banking and financial services to the members of faith-based associations throughout the United States. Our organization will be a vital proponent in the advancement of the Kingdom of God.
Business Philosophy:
The need for this type of credit union stems from a lack of financial institutions that understand the unique financial needs of people of faith. A basic principal of the believer is tithing. Your credit union will not only provide resources for the member but attempt to educate them on investment basics and provide an opportunity to benefit from low rate lending. Your credit union will consider the member's tithing consistency, upon his/her request, as a basic show of credit union worthiness as well as the traditional credit analysis system. This method of lending to credit union members is unprecedented.
We have chosen to establish a credit union instead of a conventional, for profit institution due to the lower operation costs. This will assist in offering competitive loan and savings rates. Credit unions are based on a one-member, one vote structure, which gives the members the power to direct the credit union policy in effort to truly meet their needs. A credit union's sole responsibility is to service its members, the depositors. The volunteer board that runs the credit union is elected by the members.
Your major competitive strengths will be the use of a member's tithing history as a means of incentive in their accounts versus the traditional use of minimum account balance.
