DCUC Salutes Travis CU, Otero FCU For Air Force Distinguished Awards
By CU Today Staff —
WASHINGTON— The Defense Credit Union Council said two of its member institutions—Travis Credit Union and Otero Federal Credit Union—have been named the Department of the Air Force's 2025 Distinguished Credit Unions of the Year, the military's highest annual recognition for on-base credit unions based on nominations submitted by installation commanders.
"We are proud to congratulate both Travis Credit Union and Otero Federal Credit Union on receiving this distinguished recognition from the Department of the Air Force," said Anthony Hernandez, DCUC president/CEO, r5et. U.S. Air Force colonel. "Their dedication to supporting our nation's airmen, veterans, and military communities reflects the very best of the defense credit union movement and the profound impact credit unions have in strengthening financial readiness for those who serve.”
Annually, the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force (Financial Management and Comptroller) recognizes the on-base financial institutions (bank and credit union) that provided exceptional service to the Air Force community during the preceding calendar year. These awards are based on recommendations submitted by installation commanders. Nominations for credit unions will be accepted in two separate sub-categories: those institutions with total assets of $1 billion and above and those with less than $1 billion, DCUC explained.
