FCCB Supports Veteran Financial Health Through National Program
Mansfield, PA (November 2025) – First Citizens Community Bank (FCCB) is actively championing veteran financial wellness by participating in the Veterans Benefits Banking Program (VBBP), a national initiative dedicated to connecting service members and their families with secure, affordable banking services. This program, a joint effort between the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Association of Military Banks of America (AMBA), has garnered national attention for its significant impact, helping approximately 634,000 veterans transition to secure direct deposits since its 2019 launch.
As a participant in the VBBP, FCCB is committed to extending this national support directly to local veterans by providing accessible, high-quality financial tools. Beyond its involvement in the VBBP, FCCB offers a tangible, everyday product, the Veterans Checking account, complete with special perks for veterans and their spouses.
"The national numbers are impressive and prove just how vital the VBBP partnership is to the financial well-being of our service members and their families," said Randall E. Black, CEO & President of FCCB. "At FCCB, we’re extending that support within our communities, and we are proud to offer financial tools that recognize veterans, active military members, and their families. And we thank all that sacrificed so much for all of us for our freedom!"
FCCB's Veterans Checking account offers great perks, including waived fees, free nationwide ATM access, and discounted closing costs up to twice a year. The bank's commitment to veterans extends beyond this special checking account; FCCB also offers access to valuable financial education through FCCB Academy and specializes in VA Loans with unique benefits, such as zero down payment and no private mortgage insurance, supporting veterans' financial journeys.
FCCB invites all veterans and their families to visit a local community office or myFCCB.com to learn more about the Veterans Checking account and the bank's comprehensive veteran support programs.
