Dear Valued Members,
The moment we’ve been waiting for is finally here – it’s time to announce our new name, and you are among the first to know. AFFCU (Air Force Federal Credit Union) will change its name to Soarion Credit Union. Our new name reflects our passion for elevating our members’ lives and guiding them towards financial well-being. The name Soarion celebrates our deep history in serving the Air Force and captures our dedication to service, and desire to help see our 55,000 strong members reach their financial dreams.
On April 2, 2024, we will open our doors and begin operating as:
Although our name is changing, we remain a federal credit union, deeply committed to all members. Since 1952, AFFCU has proudly served the Air Force, Lackland Air Force Base, and the greater San Antonio area. Our pride in that rich history of serving our military individuals and families will always endure.
Over those 72 years, we also changed names three times, but always remained dedicated to empowering our members’ lives to improve their financial well-being. Our expansion to 55,000 members today extends well beyond our original Air Force roots, as we now serve an even broader community in Texas and Mississippi that needs the guidance and help of this financial cooperative. This expansion marks a significant milestone in the credit union history.
As Soarion, we will continue to learn and grow with the same great staff and provide the financial solutions and tools that our members want and need. We are honored to serve you and look forward to welcoming more people who can benefit from what our financial cooperative has to offer.
The announcement of our new name is the first step of our transformation. You’ll soon see exciting changes in our Financial Centers, website, and credit/debit cards later this fall—all designed to serve you better today and in the future. We’ve detailed many of those changes on our Q&A page. If you have questions that have not been addressed, please call us at (210) 673-5610 for more information.
On behalf of our employees and volunteer board of directors, we appreciate your support and confidence and look forward to serving you as Soarion Credit Union for years to come.
Sincerely,
Soarion Credit Union
