The Jubilee Initiative for Financial Inclusion (JIFFI) is a nonprofit community financial services provider founded by University of Notre Dame and Saint Mary's students. We aim to replace predatory payday lending that perpetuates poverty in South Bend. We offer cash advances supplemented by helpful personal financial planning tools to help our clients get ahead instead of falling behind. Our Mission To enable our clients to unlock their full potential through affordable credit solutions, financial empowerment programs, and supportive relationships. Our Vision To shape a better financial environment for our community and uphold the financial dignity of every individual by providing access to fair credit and opportunities to build financial assets. We believe that a loan should help you get out of a hole, not push you into another one. That's why we make sure that our loans fit you perfectly by examining every case on a client by client basis. By working with you individually, we strive to understand your specific situation on a personal level. This way, we can help to fill financial gaps in budgeting, handle emergencies, or even plan for the future without taking on more debt in the process. We are also deeply committed to maximizing financial literacy in South Bend. Our Financial Empowerment Program can teach you how to manage your finances so that you can achieve financial stability and even begin to achieve long term financial goals. Please join us and find out how money can serve you before anything else!
