The Armed Forces Financial Network (AFFN) is an interbank network with a mission to increase the versatility of participating financial institutions to better serve the U.S. military. It provides electronic financial transactions services to the military banking and defence credit union sector.[1] It connects approximately 346 banks and credit unions with over 500,000 ATMs and 2.3 million point-of-sale locations.[2][3] John M. Broda is the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Network.[4]
History
The Armed Forces Financial Network was founded in 1985 at the request of the United States Army to support the "Surepay" direct deposit initiative.[5] The AFFN's role in the Surepay initiative was to be one way U.S. military personnel could gain access to their money.
In 2017 the Armed Forces Financial Network launched a chip and pin travel card.[6]
