Kirtland and the U.S. Armed Forces

Ten Kirtland AFB airmen founded Kirtland Credit Union to provide financial services to the brave men and women who keep our country strong. Our mission remains:

“To exceed the financial expectations of our members—principally those in
the military and organizations that support the defense of our nation.”

The Veterans Benefits Banking Program, or VBBP, is a partnership between VA and the Association of Military Banks of America (AMBA). The program provides Veterans and beneficiaries a safe, reliable, and inexpensive way to receive and manage their VA monetary benefits. The VBBP connects Veterans with banks and credit unions who understand Veterans’ financial needs and can provide Veterans and their beneficiaries the highest level of service.
