Credit unions and banks are both financial institutions but there are significant differences in how they are operated. Banks are owned by shareholders. Their Boards of Directors are paid employees. They are for-profit institutions. Credit Unions are owned by their members and their Boards are volunteer. They are non-profit which means any profits made are returned back to the member in the form of lower rates and fees.

We award ten $2,000 college scholarships and ten $500 Summer Camp Awards annually. Applications for these programs are typically accepted in the first quarter of each year.

Yes, through the CO-OP Shared Branch Network, Andrews Federal members will be able to complete some of the same transactions as if they were at an Andrews Federal branch.
