AFFCU’s President/CEO, Ryan Ross, Chairman of the Board, Col Sam Farace, USAF (Ret), and Treasurer, Melvin J. Moczygemba, accepted the award at the event earlier this month.
“This is an amazing achievement and honor to be selected over the other incredible institutions. Our team is proud to have earned this award for a fourth time by demonstrating the ability to provide the utmost service to those who serve our country,” Ross said.

The credit union was commended for its support of the local community through ties to organizations such as the Fisher House, Airman Heritage Foundation, the Honor Flight San Antonio Chapter and praised for offering a range of financial services specifically geared toward supporting our military members such as teaching bi-weekly personal finance classes to over 381 airmen conducting Federal Income Deferral Training for 50 of Lackland AFB's Military Training Instructors.
