PenFed West Point AAFES Branch Now Open for Business

"PenFed is honored to expand our commitment to bring convenient, best-in-class financial services to all members of the U.S. Military Academy: leaders, faculty, cadets, graduates, and the entire campus community," said Mr. Schenck. "Our mission here is to help the next generation of military leaders do better financially."

Whenever PenFed opens a new branch, Schenck said, "Our commitment to the community goes far beyond financial services. PenFed is also committed to serve as a community leader through charitable giving. That is why, in honor of this branch opening, we are donating to the West Point Cyber Research Center. PenFed is proud to support the Cyber Research Center in its critical mission to 'train the cadets who will soon be leading the Army's soldiers against cyber threats and terrorism.'"

For 83 years, Schenck said, "PenFed has served the brave men and women who fight and win our nation's wars. Now with this branch and this donation, we plan to continue serving those brave men and women on West Point for many years to come."

Already, West Point Branch Manager Tim Hordych said, "There has been a very strong, positive response to PenFed's presence in the Exchange mall. Many of our members have commented on how convenient this location will be for them. PenFed members now enjoy all aspects of truly convenient, one-stop shopping that is available at the Exchange with the addition of this new branch."

The branch space incorporates an open floor plan with interactive member-teller cash recycler kiosks and community board screens. The new location will employ four staff members, which will include a loan officer and a financial Advisor registered through CUSO Financial Services, L.P., at PenFed Wealth Management*.

The hours of operation for the PenFed West Point AAFES Branch are Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. Saturday hours are now available from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. The branch is located in the West Point Exchange at 1204 Stony Lonesome Road, West Point, New York.
