Get Your Finances in Order

Your finances won’t be automatically put on hold while you’re away. Once your unit is alerted to the possibility of deployment, here are some ways you can plan accordingly:

  • Have an emergency fund. It’s always wise to have 3 to 6 months’ worth of savings for sudden expenses, like vehicle repairs or plane tickets.
  • Share account details if your family will be staying stateside and consider adding a joint owner to your financial accounts. Fill out a Change of Information/Add Joint Owner form and submit your form through your online account or at any branch.
  • Explore setting up free automatic Bill Pay to ensure you don’t miss any payments.
  • Talk to one of our financial advisors. They're here to help you learn about life insurance options, designed to give you peace of mind.
