“Veterans deserve to get their benefits in the safest, most secure way possible – and that’s what the Veterans Benefits Banking Program delivers. Expanding this great program, to include financial counseling and education, will have a real impact on Veterans’ lives [by] helping protect and grow the benefits they’ve earned.” - Denis McDonough, Secretary of Veterans Affairs
