About the Hopi Credit Association

Established in 1952 by a group of ranchers as a financial resource, HCA has now been in existence for over 60 years! The HCA is a certified Native Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) that services Hopi tribal enrolled members living on the Hopi Reservation in Northeast Arizona.

What is a Native CDFI?

A Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) is a specialized financial institution that works with people or in communities that are underserved by traditional financial institutions. CDFIs provide loan products and related financial education or other training programs that may not be easily accessible in some communities. CDFIs can be structured in many ways and include for-profit and nonprofit entities. They include regulated institutions like community development banks and community development credit unions, and non-regulated institutions such as loan funds and venture capital funds.

CDFIs are found all over the United States in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. They serve all sorts of communities- urban to rural and on Native lands. CDFIs serve all types of people and specialize in all sorts of financial products and related technical assistance services.
