Secondary Capital

Secondary Capital Loans are subordinated, long-term (five years or more) debt available to credit unions with low-income designation from their regulator. Secondary Capital can count as part of net worth for regulatory purposes, and as such can help growing credit unions to achieve the required minimum capital standards. Inclusiv makes Secondary Capital Loans of up to $2,000,000. Learn more.

In 2019 Inclusiv announced the formation of a $45 million fund that will invest capital in credit unions serving low-income and communities of color in 17 southern states, including Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia.

Inclusiv/Mortgage

Inclusiv/Mortgage purchases seasoned, performing mortgage loans from member credit unions to replenish CDCUs’ loan capital, thereby expanding lending in local communities.

Non-Member & Nominee Deposits

Inclusiv makes term deposits (“share certificates”) in member credit unions, which enable CDCUs to increase lending to members, to match deposits from other investors, and/or to generate investment income. Inclusiv typically makes non-member and nominee deposits of up to $250,000. Nominee Deposits, which are made in the name of third-party investors, can multiply this many times, as each Nominee Deposit is separately insured up to $250,000. Learn more.

Social Impact Deposits

Inclusiv partners with institutional investors to make a difference and build inclusive economies through their investments. One such partnership is Inclusiv's collaboration with NerdWallet on several initiatives to advance financial access in underserved communities. Learn More.
