What they are
What they are and how to use this list
These are the definitions of the agencies that certify them: the Treasury’s CDFI Fund and the FDIC. Being on the list is not our recommendation.
-
What a CDFI is
It is a certification the Treasury’s CDFI Fund gives to specialized organizations that provide financial services in low-income communities and to people who lack access to financing. They can be banks, credit unions or loan funds.
-
What a minority depository institution (MDI) is
The FDIC uses the term for an insured bank where minority individuals own most of the voting stock, or whose board is mostly minority and serves a mostly minority community. Here you see the ones the FDIC lists as Hispanic American owned.

Frequently asked questions
Can a CDFI lend to me if I have little credit or use an ITIN?
It depends on each institution. CDFIs are certified for serving communities and people with little access to financing, but each sets its own rules. This list does not say what each one offers: ask them directly.
Why is an institution I know not listed?
The CDFI Fund list gives the state of the main office. Many institutions serve several states, so you can also search the CDFI Fund’s full list.
How current is this data?
The CDFI Fund list we use is from September 17, 2026, and the FDIC list from November 6, 2026. Both change when an institution gains or loses its status.
