COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Ent Federal Credit Union now offers expanded benefits to all active deployed military and their families to help relieve anxiety about basic financial services that are made difficult when so far from home. Formerly, military benefits were provided on a case-by-case basis. Today, Ent Federal military benefits extend to all active duty members deployed or with deployment orders as well as those called to active duty through the Reserves or National Guard. "Our credit union has strong military roots; it was founded 48 years ago by military and civilian personnel assigned to Ent Air Force Base and Peterson Field," said Ent FCU CEO Charles Emmer. "Not only do we honor our past, but we want to honor our current military men and women for protecting our freedoms through our expanded military services." For those who are Ent Federal members, benefits include free online banking, money orders, travelers' checks and official checks and trust/estate planning and investment services. In addition, the Servicemember's Civil Relief Act is honored at Ent FCU, entitling qualified members of the military to reduced loan rates and deferred payments.
