Certification reinforces commitment to safe, affordable banking for San Diegans

SAN DIEGO, CA (May 11, 2026) |

Joining a network of financial institutions committed to advancing financial inclusion, Mission Fed Credit Union’s Breeze Spending Account has recently earned Bank On certification, a national designation recognizing safe and affordable banking products.

Awarded by the Cities for Financial Empowerment Fund, the Bank On certification confirms transactional accounts meet the National Account Standards designed to help consumers, specifically those who are underbanked, avoid common banking barriers and gain financial empowerment.  

Mission Fed’s Breeze Spending Account is a free, checkless debit account built for everyday money management. With no monthly maintenance fees, no minimum balance requirements and no overdraft fees, this account reflects Mission Fed’s ongoing efforts to deliver accessible, member-focused financial solutions. 

"We’re here to enrich the lives of San Diegans by offering financial services that are for everyone and every need,” said Doug Wright, president and chief executive officer of Mission Fed. “Earning Bank On certification for our Breeze Spending Account reinforces our focus on putting members first and delivering products that are accessible for all.” 

Mission Fed membership helps people unlock access to other financial empowerment tools including educational webinars and tools, free one-on-one coaching by certified financial coaches, and member-only discounts such as trust and will services, as well as community engagements.
