National Baptist Convention Credit Union Campaign


The National Baptist Convention, USA, Inc. is partnering with Self-Help Credit Union on a campaign to create a credit union to serve the nationwide membership of the National Baptist Convention, USA, Inc. Currently, a convention-founded credit union does not exist.

NBC's partnership with Self-Help CU enables NBC churches, congregations, partners or any other individual or organization to make a financial investment that will count toward the goal of raising $50 million in new deposits.

Your deposit is an investment to help support the vision.
