The branch, located in the newly opened International Terminal D, provides a wonderful facility to service the airline and airport employees working in the new terminal. "The Credit Union has expanded its membership beyond American Airlines people to include employees who work in the air transportation industry," said Bobby Stone, DFW-D Branch Manager. "We are ready to welcome and serve our existing and newly extended family."

"We are excited to provide this full service branch to meet the lending, new account, and depository needs of our existing as well as potential members," said AA Credit Union President and CEO John Tippets. "We are able to provide and set up all existing products and services that the Credit Union has to offer. This new location provides a fourth convenient DFW Branch for American Airlines and other airport/air transportation employees to conduct their financial business."

AA Credit Union Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) have been installed throughout Terminal D. The ATMs are provided as a function of an airport concessions contract awarded to the AA Credit Union in partnership with the New Mount Zion Baptist Church Credit Union. "We are extremely pleased to see all of the new flight and passenger activity coming to Terminal D," Tippets added.

American Airlines Federal Credit Union was founded in 1936 and today serves the present and retired employees of American Airlines, their family members and others who work in the air transportation industry.
