VBBP – You’ve earned it. Let’s secure it!
At FCCB, we understand the unique needs and challenges faced by those who have served our nation, and we are proud to highlight a valuable resource designed specifically for them: the Veterans Benefits Banking Program (VBBP). This national initiative connects veterans, active-duty military, and their families with safe, reliable, and supportive banking services. The VBBP is a collaborative effort to ensure our veterans have seamless access to the financial tools and resources they deserve. We are pleased to participate in promoting this vital program.
The Veterans Benefits Banking Program is a nationwide program established through a partnership between the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and a network of participating banks and credit unions. Its core mission is to ensure that veterans, active-duty military personnel, and their families can easily find and access financial institutions committed to understanding and meeting their specific needs. The program allows veterans to conveniently and securely receive their VA benefits and manage their finances effectively.
Key Advantages for Veterans:
The VBBP offers several significant benefits to veterans seeking financial services:
-
Access to Insured Accounts: Participating banks and credit unions offer accounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), providing peace of mind and security for veterans' funds.
-
Affordable Financial Services: Many participating institutions offer no-cost or low-cost financial products and services, such as checking and savings accounts, helping veterans manage their money without unnecessary fees.
-
Military-Friendly Understanding: Financial institutions participating in the VBBP often have a deeper understanding of military culture and the unique financial circumstances that veterans may face.
-
Direct Deposit Convenience: The program facilitates the direct deposit of VA benefits, ensuring a reliable and timely way for veterans to receive their payments.

Financial Education Opportunities: FCCB is proud to provide access to FCCB Academy, a place with valuable financial education resources that empower veterans to make informed decisions about their money.
