Is Your Bank Unbiblical? With Aaron Caid

Show Notes

Aaron Caid is our go-to guy for what’s happening in the banking industry. He’s the Chief Marketing Officer at Christian Community Credit Union, an underwriter of this program.

Aaron says we are starting to see what could be the next big exodus for Christians in the marketplace today, and that is Christians choosing to bank with their values.

CCCU has been hearing from new members who have joined the credit union after becoming fed up with their secular bank. So they decided to go out and find out if this feedback was more than just anecdotal. 

 

They surveyed over 1300 professed Christians across the country. Here’s what they found: 

  • Over 30% had considered switching their bank in the last 12 months. And Christian values were one of the top three reasons why they wanted to do that. 
  • Over 60% cared deeply about managing their finances biblically, they want to honor God with their finances, not just the rest of their life. 
  • And over 50% said, it's now more important than ever, that their bank reflects and supports their Christian values. 

 

Many CCCU members saw the politically motivated decisions that their former banks were making that were at odds with their Christian beliefs. 

CCCU also learned that many people switched from their banks over dissatisfaction with rates, fees, and poor customer service. But these were a statistical tie with the conflict with their personal beliefs. That means that alignment with Christian faith and values carries the same weight among Christians as bread and butter rates and fees. 

Christian Community Credit Union offers customers a way to address both of those concerns. They are unapologetically Christian and have been following Christ followers for more than 65 years. We are unapologetically Christian.

  • What is the best way to go about giving? 
  • Does a whole life insurance policy make sense as a way to ensure a death benefit if you have a child with special needs?
