Armed Forces Bank (AFB) is a bank serving members of the United States Armed Forces, veterans, and their family members.
Armed Forces Bank was founded in 1907 in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, where it is currently headquartered. AFB and its sister bank, Academy Bank, are owned by Dickinson Financial Corporation (DFC), which is headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri.
Armed Forces Bank operates the most locations on military bases in the United States, including 23 locations on 17 bases.
Much of the Bank's retail team is also composed of people with direct connections to the U.S. military, including veterans, reservists, and military dependents.
In July 2022, the Bank launched a podcast titled "Militarily Speaking", which discusses finances and overall life for the military community.
AFB and DFC also support some philanthropy organizations, including Fisher House Foundation and the Armed Services YMCA.
As of 2021,[update] AFB relies on overdraft fees for over half its net income, leading to calls for consequences from bank regulators.
Our parent company, Dickinson Financial Corporation (DFC), is family owned and headquartered in downtown Kansas City, Missouri.
Owned by Dickinson Financial Corporation and headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri, there are Armed Forces Bank branches in many states from California to New Jersey.
Armed Forces Bank serves active and retired military and civilian clients globally with the most on-base locations (23 locations on 17 installations) of any military bank in the country.
