Contact us to talk to a team member.

What rate will I earn?

Our penalty-free access investments are currently earning 1.50% APR. This interest rate is variable and subject to change. We will notify you prior to any access rate changes. 

For higher rates of return, consider our fixed-rate investment offerings.

Will the interest rate go up if I invest more?

Interest rates are determined by the terms of your investment, not by the dollar amount invested.

Can I continue to add to my investment?

Typically, yes, you can add to your investment note(s) at any time. If for any reason your investment note becomes closed to additions, we will give you 30 days advance notice.

What will my investment be worth in 1, 2, or 10 years?

You can use our compound interest calculator to calculate future earnings. You can even compare compounding interest against regular monthly additions over time.

Are investments with GenFi Ministries secured or insured?

Your investments are not “secured.” Investments with GenFi Ministries cannot be covered under the FDIC insurance program, because GenFi Ministries is a ministry, not a bank.

GenFi Ministries’ total net assets exceeded $15 million as of December 31, 2024. See our Offering Circular for more information.

How does GenFi Ministries use my money?

Your investment supports the expansion of Assemblies of God churches and ministries through our loan program. See our Offering Circular for more information regarding our activities and the use of proceeds when you invest with us. See the impact investments with GenFi Ministries have for ministries nationwide.

What happens to my investment if I die?

Your beneficiaries will need to contact GenFi Ministries and provide a certified death certificate. They will also need to inform GenFi Ministries in writing whether they want to cash out the investment note(s) or hold it to maturity.

Can my investment be in the name of a trust?

Yes. You will need to provide a copy of your trust agreement or complete a Certification of Trust Agreement form. GenFi Ministries requires that we have one of these items before we can set up your investment note in the name of a trust.

What is the minimum amount to open an access investment?

An account can be opened with as little as $250.
