With Notre Dame Federal Credit Union, we are piloting a model in which an existing community – church, neighborhood, Catholic Worker, etc – can become a subsidiary credit union community within NDFCU for its banking, using its collective resources to: prevent and buy out (redeem) interest bearing debt that extracts wealth from the community, and offer collateral that financially enfranchises those who are otherwise unable to access credit.

We invite you to join the Simone Weil House extended community in the community banking pilot, or join the conversation about the next cohort of communities. For either, join us Thursday 10/22 @6 Pacific for a Zoom conversation (outside, distanced if you’re in Portland, OR).
