How long does it take to establish membership and open my accounts?

This can vary based on a number of factors, including the size of your organization and the number of signers required. We have seen an organizational membership opened in as little as 24 hours. Additionally, we have taken great care to make sure our process can be completed 100% online, unlike many other banks and credit unions who require a visit to a local branch in order to open an organization or business account.

Does my organization need to be an America’s Christian Credit Union member to apply for a loan?

Your organization doesn’t need to be a member to start a loan application. However, your organization will need to qualify for and complete membership to finish the process. We are all about a life-long relationship, so your assigned business lending representative will walk you through all of the options and best practices in pursuit of your organization’s lending needs. Applying for a loan is quick and easy; click here to start your loan application.
