Armed Forces Bank Receives Army and Navy Honors for Excellence in Military Banking
Armed Forces Bank has been named the 'Distinguished Bank of the Year' by both the U.S. Departments of the Army and Navy at the Association of Military Banks of America's 2026 Military Banking Summit. The bank received recognition for its work on military financial readiness, with specific honors going to branches located at Fort Leavenworth in Kansas and Naval Station Great Lakes in Illinois. This marks a continuation of Armed Forces Bank’s long-standing commitment to the well-being of service members, veterans, and their families. Since 1997, it has received 32 Distinguished Bank awards—15 from the Navy, 11 from the Army, and six from the Air Force—and was recognized by at least one military branch in 15 out of the past 16 years. The bank supports financial readiness through education programs such as budgeting workshops for recruits during boot camp and community involvement initiatives. It also offers no-fee checking accounts tailored to service members, partnerships with veteran assistance organizations like Hire Heroes USA, and educational resources including its 'Militarily Speaking' podcast.
