Military & Veterans

Veterans and military personnel face unique financial challenges. Military deployment brings a variety of money management difficulties, and many military families find it hard to meet all of their financial obligations during deployment. As a result, military personnel and veterans are more likely than civilians to carry debt. These money management challenges often make it hard to pay household expenses and lead to significant credit card usage and debt. And the high rate of unemployment for veterans means these financial problems may continue long after deployment is over.

As experts in money management, budgeting, and financial education, the credit counselors at ACCC are well-equipped to assist military personnel and veterans with their unique financial challenges. Our Veterans and Military Personnel Financial Education Center helps military personnel evaluate their current financial situations and create targeted plans to solve their financial problems.
