PORTSMOUTH, N.H. - Service Credit Union was selected for the 2012 Distinguished �Army Credit Union Service Award by the United States Department of the Army in recognition of their exceptional financial service and support of the Army community in Grafenwoehr, Germany, which is above and beyond routine financial service offerings. The Grafenwoehr community includes Service Credit Union branches at Grafenwoehr and Vilseck.
The 2012 Army Credit Union of the Year Award was presented to Service Credit Union at the Defense Credit Union Council annual conference this month.
In a recommendation letter from the U.S. Army Garrison Grafenwoehr Commander James Saenz states "Service Credit Union stands outs as the leader in crucial financial need areas such as combating predatory lending, community financial education, 24/7 worldwide access and a full range of high quality, low-cost financial solutions for our soldiers."
He continues "their unrivaled ability to support service members worldwide through multiple remote access channels enhances individual and unit readiness as well as insuring financial soundness of soldiers families here in Germany. Ultimately their Service helps our troops focus on the important mission at hand."
Service Credit Unions wide range of products and services designed especially for the military was one of the many reasons for this prestigious honor. Among these products and services are Early Payday Checking, Guaranteed Pay, Military Community Emergency Loans, Relocation Loans, Early Payday Loans, Warrior Program and Star Program. �The credit union was praised for its many free services to the military including 24/7 Live Person Contact Centers, Free Online Banking, Mobile Web Banking, FinanceWorks and Mobile Apps, so soldiers can access their accounts from anywhere in the world. Service Credit Union also offers Euro Bill Pay so members can pay bills in Euro from wherever they may be around the world.
