DESCRIBE THE ABOVE

WELCOME TO THE FUTURE OF FINANCIAL EMPOWERMENT

The Proposed Afro Collective Federal Credit Union.

A people-powered financial institution built by and for the African diaspora in the United States.
 
The Afro Collective Federal Credit Union is a community-driven initiative currently in Phase 2 of the federal chartering process with the U.S. government. Once approved, this credit union will be a federally insured, full-service financial institution designed to serve the unique needs of African immigrants  both newly arrived and established in the U.S.

We are creating a trusted financial home where our cultural values, financial goals, and community aspirations align.

WHO CAN JOIN?

You must first be a member of the Zim US Family Collective to be eligible for future membership in the credit union.

​

✅ You don’t have to be Zimbabwean.

WHY IT MATTERS

Credit Card

SERVING OUR UNIQUE NEEDS

Mainstream banks have historically underserved African immigrants. Many of us send money back home, fund family businesses, support education abroad, and build dual homes yet we face barriers to credit, lending, and trust.

​

This credit union will be ours:
✅ Built by us
✅ Governed by us
✅ Serving us

It’s not just a financial institution. It’s a movement.

Proposed Afro Collective Federal Credit Union – Potential Member Survey.

Help shape a credit union created by and for our community.


We are exploring the formation of a financial cooperative focused on building financial wellness through simple, essential services. Your input will help us understand the needs of our community and design products that matter most to you.

​

Your input will help us decide what services matter most (like checking, savings, loans, and financial education) and show regulators that our community is ready.

​

This survey only takes a few minutes, but your answers will directly shape the future credit union. Together, we can build a financial home that truly serves us.

Thank you for your support!
