Why The Summer of Celebration is a Great Opportunity to Become a Member

Have you been wondering about Andrews Federal Credit Union membership?

If you’ve been considering whether a credit union might be the right choice, here’s why credit union membership makes a difference, and why you will want to consider joining Andrews Federal during our Summer of Celebration.

Why You Should Become an Andrews Federal Credit Union Member

The top reason to become an Andrews Federal member is also the simplest: membership saves you more.

Andrews Federal members receive more value from choosing the credit union’s products and services. On average, Andrews Federal members save approximately $270 annually through lower rate loans, lower fees, higher dividends and greater rewards. (Source: America’s Credit Unions)

Members who take advantage of more services typically save even more. When members fully utilize their Andrews Federal membership, they receive an average of $1,372 in savings and financial benefits annually.

  • Andrews Federal members have access to a wide variety of products and services, including:
  • High-value savings options including savings accounts, Money Market Accounts and Share Certificates
  • Rewarding checking account options that pay high dividends or provide cash back
  • Affordable options for home loans, vehicle loans, credit cards and more
  • Convenient Digital Banking technology so you can manage your money anytime, anywhere

As part of the Summer of Celebration, the credit union has made its checking options even more rewarding.

Typically members have the option to choose a Kasasa Cash account that pays a 6% dividend on balances, or a Kasasa Cash Back account that pays 3% cash back on debit card purchases.

How to Become an Andrews Federal Credit Union Member

Joining Andrews Federal Credit Union is easy and the membership qualification process can be completed in minutes.

Membership is open to those who have served in our military and receive services at one of the bases where we have a presence (including Joint Base Andrews, Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst and the overseas communities we serve) as well as to those who live, work attend school in the DC area or are part of a Select Group we serve.

In addition, you can become a member through the American Consumer Council. When you begin the membership application process, you can opt to automatically be enrolled in the American Consumer Council and make the credit union joining process simple and seamless.

Where to Become an Andrews Federal Credit Union Member

You can join Andrews Federal from anywhere, thanks to our Digital Banking technology. It’s easy to access our website and open an account in minutes.

However, if you are in the Maryland area, we invite you to officially begin your membership at our new Upper Marlboro branch location. At our new Upper Marlboro branch, you’ll have the opportunity to:

  • Qualify for membership and establish your base savings account
  • Add rewarding checking and savings options, including the opportunity to earn a $150 bonus when opening a Kasasa Cash or Kasasa Cash Back Checking Account
  • Learn about our affordable loan options for vehicles, homes and more
  • Receive a complimentary analysis from our financial services representatives to see how opening an Andrews Federal account can save you money on your existing loans and financial products

The Upper Marlboro Branch will officially open this summer, and community members will have the opportunity to visit the branch, meet the team, utilize the on-site technology and begin or deepen their relationship with the credit union. The branch hosted a community celebration earlier this summer complete with giveaways, pet adoptions and more.

This new Maryland location will be fully staffed with a team of dedicated employees and an experienced branch manager who is eager to build rapport with the community.
