About AdelFI Credit Union
AdelFi is a Christian financial institution with over 60 years of experience serving Christ-centered individuals, families, ministries, and organizations. Founded in 1964 as the Conservative Baptist Credit Union, it merged in 1984 with the Association of Christian Schools International Credit Union to form Evangelical Christian Credit Union (ECCU), which grew into a leading faith-based credit union. In 2022, ECCU rebranded as AdelFi – a name drawn from the Greek word adelphos/adelphoi, meaning “brothers and sisters in Christ.” The name also carries deeper meaning: adel is Hebrew for “God is eternal; noble,” and the suffix -fi reflects financial stewardship and the gathering of God’s gifts for Kingdom good. Today, AdelFi is committed to helping Christ followers align their faith with their finances through biblical stewardship tools, banking services, and ministry support that empower members to live out their God-given mission.
