News
Veterans Benefiting from VA's Banking Program: Waiting for a benefit check to be delivered in the mail is a slow and tiresome process. Checks can also be lost or stolen. Thankfully, VA’s Veterans Benefits Banking Program (VBBP) has helped thousands of Veterans and their families make the conversion to direct deposit, which is quick, easy and secure.
In fact, VBBP has surpassed 100 participating financial institutions and converted more than 340,000 benefit recipients to direct deposit since its launch in 2019. The 100th financial institution to participate in VBBP was PlainsCapital Bank, and the 101st was Frontwave Credit Union.
With the assistance of the Association of Military Banks of America (AMBA), VA launched VBBP to help Veterans, beneficiaries, caregivers and survivors open accounts and enroll in direct deposit for their VA benefits. Read more about the program here.
