History
Air Force Federal Credit Union, formerly known as Lackland Federal Credit Union, was founded in November 1952 by 10 airmen volunteers, who donated $5 each. In 1953, Air Force FCU was operating from a one-room office on Lackland Air Force Base. On March 15, 2002 Lackland FCU changed its name to Air Force FCU. The name change helped the credit union to better identify with its membership as well as create a vision for the future.
In 2006, Air Force FCU joined the CO-OP Financial Services giving members access to over 30,000 ATMs worldwide surcharge-free. In the summer of 2007, Air Force FCU joined the Shared Branching Network. This partnership gave members access to more than 5,400 branches and kiosks located in 46 states and in Germany, Italy, Japan, South Korea and Puerto Rico.
2012 was another year of growth and change for Air Force FCU. On June 29, 2012, Air Force FCU added The Airman Heritage Foundation as a Select Employee Group (SEG). This SEG changed Air Force FCU from a single common bond credit union to a multiple common bond credit union and granted membership eligibility to members of the Airman Heritage Foundation. As of August 2016, Air Force FCU had more than $370 million in assets, and over 40,000 members worldwide.

Services
Air Force FCU offers many products and services in common with other financial institutions, including savings accounts, checking accounts, IRA accounts, certificates, consumer loans, credit cards, mortgages and lines of credit, as well as small business services. The savings are named "Share Savings" to reflect the fact that with the member's initial savings deposit of $5.00 they acquire a share of ownership in the credit union.
Air Force FCU offers a cash back debit card program, which pays 12 cents cash back each time a credit union member makes a $5 or more purchase with the card. One of the exclusive benefits of credit union membership is a no-cost $3,000 TruStage Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) insurance policy from CMFG Life Insurance Company.
