The Association of Military Banks of America (AMBA) is the only not-for-profit trade association dedicated to representing the interests of banking institutions serving the US military. Founded in 1959, AMBA's roles include serving our members with training and other vital programs, acting as a liaison between our members and the Department of Defense as well as other federal agencies, and advocating for all military banks before Congress and other key federal officials. AMBA's banks provide important financial services to active-duty, reserve component, retired military personnel, veterans, and their families at home and abroad.
