Proposed De Novo Credit Unions
Proposed African Diaspora Federal Credit Union
The purpose of our existence is for members to pull our resources together for economic employment, build generational wealth, and heal our community members from the circle of poverty that was brought upon them by the "Pay Day Loan" system of exploitation.
We are at the last phase of the process of creating our credit union. We are currently raising funds for our startup expenses.
Proposed Field of Membership
Our preliminarily approved associational common bond field of membership for the proposed credit union reads as follows:
"Members of the African Diaspora Council, Inc. who qualify for membership in accordance with the bylaws in effect on December 19, 2015; Spouses of persons who died while within the field of membership of this credit union; employees of this credit union; members of their immediate families or household; and organizations of such persons.”

Proposed Diverge Federal Credit Union
The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) has extended its approval for a new charter application for Diverge, a Proposed Federal Credit Union (PFCU). Diverge PFCU is a groundbreaking initiative that will expand financial access for historically unbanked individuals and their families.
The initial focus of the proposed credit union is to provide a financial home for marginalized people in the justice-involved and LGBTQI+ communities. An estimated 2 million people in these populations are unbanked.
