Military Appreciation Month is in May, and we honor the military service members and families who sacrifice for others on a daily basis. 

At Andrews Federal, while we celebrate this month, we don’t stop there. We provide resources, appreciation and support for our military service members and families all year long through resources, programs, and partnerships that make military life a little easier every day.

Presence Where It Matters Most

Andrews Federal maintains a strong presence in military communities, including branches at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland and at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in New Jersey. We also have branches on several overseas installations in Belgium, The Netherlands, and Germany. 

With these resources, we ensure members have access to in-person service when they’re stationed in our communities. We also provide them with a comprehensive suite of digital banking tools, so they can seamlessly manage finances during deployments, PCS moves, and overseas assignments. 

Financial Tools Built for Military Life

Military members need financial services that are built with them and the specific challenges of military life in mind. Andrews Federal offers solutions tailored to support their needs, including:

• Digital and mobile banking access worldwide

• Support to secure an IBAN for international banking needs

• Competitive rates and low-fee accounts designed to stretch military income further

• Reasonable and convenient wire transfer options 

• Vehicle financing and lending options that support the needs of members stationed overseas 

• Checking accounts with rewarding features and with up to $25 in monthly ATM reimbursements

• Resources for navigating military transitions like PCS, deployment, and separation

These tools are designed to give members more control, no matter where their military service takes them.

Investing in Military Communities

In addition to providing valuable financial services, Andrews Federal prioritizes creating connection and providing resources that support military service members and their families during daily life. 

Andrews Federal actively contributes through:

• Charitable giving to military-focused organizations

• Food drives and community support efforts that support service members and their families during times of need

• Volunteer initiatives that bring employees directly into the communities they serve

• Event support for programming on base that’s intended to showcase military innovation or to boost morale for service members 

The credit union has been a supportive partner to military bases during key events like the Joint Base Andrews Air Show, the Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst Power in the Pines Air and Space Open House, and the Wiesbaden Freedom Run. For these events and many others like them, the credit union contributes thousands and dollars and hundreds of volunteer service hours. 

Our credit union also regularly partners with the USO to provide supportive resources to military service members and to offer an additional level of care and connection. 

Supporting Military Households 

Financial challenges can affect military service members’ mindsets and stress levels; the Army recently shared that military pay is the top stressor for military families. When times are tough economically, Andrews Federal provides resources military service members can access, including grants and loans to cover high utility costs and government shutdown support. 

The Wall Street Journal recently named Andrews Federal the best credit union for military families because of our commitment to providing affordable, flexible financial support. We are proud that we can offer these resources to our families in the military community because when their families are supported, service members can more fully focus on their mission. 

More than a Financial Service: A True Partnership 

As we honor military service members this month, we are proud to be your financial partner and to provide you support as you serve our nation.
