Testimonial
“I would like to let you know how grateful I am for Interfaith Federal Credit Union. As Pastors we give our lives to ministry and with that commitment comes changes, which include relocation. I recently moved over 300 miles, from one state to another. I incurred some debt with this change that put me in a bind. I am so grateful and blessed Interfaith FCU helped me establish my account and get me approved for a loan that will allow me to catch up with my bills. I never felt at any moment that I was a charity case; they treated me with respect and dignity. God Bless you Interfaith FCU.“ - Rev. T. Piukala, Desert Southwest
