ALEXANDRIA, Va., Feb. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- United States Senate Federal Credit Union (USSFCU) has joined the Veterans Benefits Banking Program (VBBP), a federal initiative led by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs that connects Veterans receiving VA benefits with financial institutions committed to safe, affordable, and transparent banking services.

Through this partnership, eligible Veterans nationwide can now become members of USSFCU—expanding access to credit union banking designed to support financial stability, reduce unnecessary fees, and promote long-term financial confidence.

"As a Veteran myself, I understand how important trusted financial guidance and reliable banking services can be," said Troy Ferguson, Senior Vice President of Retail at USSFCU. "We want to ensure that Veterans and their families have the financial education and banking solutions they need to achieve their goals and build a secure future."

"By participating in the Veterans Benefits Banking Program, we're helping remove common barriers that can make it harder for Veterans to access dependable financial services," said Milton Aguilar-Bolanos, Membership Development Officer at USSFCU. "Our goal is simple—to make it easier for Veterans to join, manage their finances, and plan for what's next."

To further reduce barriers, USSFCU covers the required eligibility donation and $5 minimum membership deposit for Veterans who join through the program.

Program Highlights Include:

• $300 New Member Bonus for eligible Veterans who join and meet qualifying criteria (promo code BONUS-VBBP required)
  
  
• Free Checking with No Overdraft Fees and early direct deposit
  
  
• Specialized lending options, including VA home loans and Bridge to Retirement Loans
  
  
• Financial Advisory Services for retirement planning, TSP guidance, and benefit management

USSFCU's participation in the Veterans Benefits Banking Program reflects its ongoing commitment to expanding access to fair, member-focused financial services while honoring those who have served.
