Proverbs 18:16 KJV
A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.
Quid pro quo is as old as the hills, and is a perfectly reasonable activity provided everything is transparent and upfront and no perversion of justice is being sought.
If I supported a cause, and some bank likewise supported that cause, it is only reasonable that I consider doing my personal business with that bank (assuming I do my due diligence of course).
A credit union sponsoring a denominational banquet is likely due to either a) a ranking decision maker at the credit union is a member or supporter of the denomination and is using his/her position to support that denomination, or b) the decision maker(s) at the credit union are looking to secure additional business from a Christian denomination's members or the organisation itself because that aligns with the credit union's overall vision and mission (supporting and serving Christian customers).
Problems arise however when the expected quid pro quo interferes with the recipient's decision making (aka genuine "undue influence").
