Spiral, the award-winning platform redefining personalized banking, today announced a partnership with Affidian Credit Union, a leading Colorado-based credit union known for its commitment to members and community impact. The partnership will enable Affidian to grow deposits and primacy at a low cost while delivering innovative, personalized digital experiences. With Spiral, members can effortlessly save for their financial goals through everyday purchases while also supporting local nonprofits and community causes.
By embedding Spiral’s Roundup Center seamlessly directly into the Alkami Digital Banking Platform, Affidian’s members can automatically round up their everyday debit card purchases and direct the spare change toward their savings goals or support their favorite charitable causes, directly benefiting their communities and local nonprofits. In addition, the new Giving Center will enable members to easily donate to their preferred charities directly from their digital accounts, create a tailored portfolio of causes, track their charitable impact, and receive a donation report for tax purposes.
“Our mission is to empower better futures for our members and the communities we serve,” said Christine Wiley, Chief Executive Officer at Affidian Credit Union. “With Spiral, we’re giving our members simple, automatic ways to save for what matters while supporting causes they care about.”
Beyond enhancing the member experience, the partnership also strengthens Affidian’s role as a community leader, driving awareness and digital donations directly from its member base to local nonprofits, expanding its offering for charitable organizations, and attracting more nonprofit partners to create positive change through fundraising campaigns, donation matching, and community-wide events.
“Affidian’s commitment to its members and community stands out,” said Shawn Melamed, CEO and Founder of Spiral. “By making it easy to save and give, Affidian is turning everyday banking into deposit growth, stronger relationships, and real impact for its community.”
