LOS ANGELES, Feb. 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Approximately 43 percent of U.S. military members do not have a rainy day fund¹, and with interest rates still relatively low and fees rising, it's even more important for service men and women to bank with financial institutions that keep the armed services community its first priority.

To help service members and their families find the best military financial institutions, GOBankingRates ranked the leading banks and credit unions for armed forces personnel and staff in 2014.

"Too many financial institutions are taking advantage of the military community for a quick buck," said Jennifer Calonia of GOBankingRates. "This list can help active and retired members of the armed forces connect with banks and credit unions that are making waves when it comes to financial education and money-saving resources for military families."
