The ADF co-ordinates the offering of a range of products and services to Catholic Church entities.

These include:

• Stable, competitive interest rates
• Loan funding
• Cheque accounts
• Direct debiting
• Periodical payments
• Merchant facilities (credit cards)
• Electronic transactions (payroll processing)
• Capital Grants assistance

Money placed with the ADF is used to provide affordable loans for Catholic Church projects in parishes, schools, health and aged care.

These can be as small as a new photocopier or as complex as the construction of a new building.

"The Archdiocesan Development Fund (the Fund) is not subject to the provisions of the Corporation Act 2001 nor has it been examined or approved by or registered with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission. The Fund is not subject to the normal disclosure requirements of a financial institution. Deposits with the Fund are guaranteed by CDPF Limited, a company established by the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference for this purpose. We welcome your investment with the Fund rather than with a profit oriented commercial organisation as a conscious commitment by you to support the Charitable, Religious and Educational works of the Catholic Church.

In addition, neither the Corporation of the Trustees of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Brisbane, nor the Archdiocesan Development Fund is prudentially supervised by APRA; contributions to the Fund do not obtain the benefit of the depositor protection provisions of the Banking Act 1959; and the Fund is designed for investors who wish to promote the charitable purposes of the Fund."
