Finanta

Finanta is a nonprofit Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) advancing economic opportunity in low-income neighborhoods through a loan fund and credit union. Our mission is to provide capital in places where it is not usually available. We seek to create positive change in a community by providing entrepreneurs with access to business development loans for projects that generate jobs, create affordable housing and help to revitalize communities.

Our approach to building vibrant and healthy communities includes increasing development of affordable and market rate housing units, turning vacant buildings into community assets, creating educational opportunities for children, youth, and adults, enhancing access to food and healthcare, and providing the resources necessary for job-creating businesses to start up and grow.

Since 1992, Finanta has provided innovative and responsible financing solutions to entrepreneurs, small businesses, and nonprofits in greater Philadelphia, eastern and southern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. As of 2025, Finanta’s manages over $250 million in safe, reliable, and inclusive capital to build vibrant and healthy communities.

Finanta has offices in Philadelphia, Lancaster, Allentown, Harrisburg, Reading and York.
