Without a doubt. And often a good credit union is better. But do your homework.

Where would we otherwise deposit our money?
No banks are saying they hold Christian values.
There was no need or expectation of such corporate statements until now.

If banks can close the accounts of conservative businesses that the banks are pressured to boycott, then by all means, starve the banks of the deposits they need to remain afloat.

I took everything out of a Canadian Bank after what they did to the Truckers.

Now I’m with a local Credit Union and much happier. They even pay a few cents dividentd every month.

IMHO a bank or Credit Union that just did their business without getting into any values other than honesty with my money is fine.

Businesses should conduct business not be activists.

No alphabet soup or BLM flags or symbols, no Christian or Jewish symbols, just do their job.

There may be a bank or credit union owned by Christians, serving Christians, some DuckDuckgo searching may find it/them.

My experience though, is them that wears there religion on their sleeve tend to be problematic. Think "Mike Pence".

Christ didn’t say don’t use money to live.

I think if a business is actively doing tnings that conflict with Christian values you have, you have every right to decide to not use them, not buy from them. Often this kind of this comes out because the company promotes something they are doing as a “good thing”. Then its time to decide.

And if the federal government doesn't share christian values..?

Our Lord was okay with paying taxes to the pagan worshiping Roman Empire. In the end, it is only money.

Yep. My primary accounts are with a Federal Credit Union that exhibits and operates on Financial Values.
