VIENNA, Va.—Navy FCU has launched a Permanent Change of Station (PCS) Initiative it said is designed to assist Active Duty Servicemembers and their families with “navigating the complexities of PCS moves and preparing financially for a PCS with peace of mind.”
Noting that relocation is a regular part of military life, the shift in routine also brings the need to assimilate into a new community, Navy FCU said.
In response, the world’s largest credit union said it has expanded its PCS offerings—consolidating them into a central resource hub that’s designed to equip active duty military and their families with knowledge and support during each stage of their transition to a new community.
“A PCS move is more than a relocation; it’s the start of a new chapter,” Annie Sebastian, chief member strategy officer at Navy Federal, said in a statement. “Our goal is to help improve the financial wellbeing of members who are PCSing, providing them with the right tools and services to be financially resilient and embrace each change of duty station with confidence.”
What’s Included
Developed in collaboration with Veterans and military spouses who’ve experienced frequent PCS moves, according to Navy FCU, the specific tools and guidance available in the resource hub include:
- Robust PCS checklists with moving tips and comprehensive to-do lists.
- Monthly spending calculator to track current expenses, manage costs and budget for the next duty station.
- Special product offers tailored for Servicemembers and military families experiencing PCS.
- Real-time guidance through our 24/7 stateside member service team.
Additional Tools Coming
According to Navy FCU, in the coming months and beyond, the credit union plans to introduce additional tailored resources, tools and products that will help improve military members and their families’ experiences throughout PCS.
