Andrews Federal Credit Union was recognized today for its extraordinary efforts to encourage Americans and support its members to save money during America Saves Week and Military Saves Week.
“At a time when just two in five American households report making good or excellent savings progress, Andrews Federal Credit Union went above and beyond to encourage and supports its community to save,” said George Barany, America Saves Director. “This year’s designees are the leaders in their field at responding to the savings crisis by working directly with American families to open and add to savings accounts. Andrews Federal Credit Union doesn’t just tell people why it’s important to save, it helps them do it.”
"We are dedicated to providing products and services to help our members succeed financially," said Brian Holloway, Andrews Federal Credit Union Vice President of Marketing. "We also believe educating our membership serves to empower them to start and maintain smart saving habits."
Andrews Federal Credit Union was one of 17 credit unions, 15 banks and five military-affiliated organizations recognized around the world.
America Saves Week is coordinated by America Saves and the American Savings Education Council.
