We're excited to invite our members and the community to our free Shred-It Day on Saturday, October 11, from 10am to 12pm at our East Chicago Office. (Please note- there will not be a Fall event at our Schererville office this year.)
Shredding your documents is one of the best ways to prevent identity theft and ensure your information doesn’t end up in the wrong hands. A secure, on-site shred truck will be available during the event, so you can watch your documents being safely destroyed.
This free event gives you the opportunity to safely dispose of old documents containing personal information such as bank statements, credit card offers, medical records, utility bills and any paperwork with sensitive data. Please do not bring any books, magazines, CDs, DVDs, floppy disks, batteries or wet materials. Any items deemed unacceptable will be returned to you.

We hope to see you there!
Advance Financial Federal Credit Union is proud to announce Jada Barrow as the recipient of our 2025 Scholarship Award, earning a $5,000 scholarship toward her college education.
Jada graduated with an Academic Honors Diploma and an impressive list of accolades. Among them is her membership in the National Honor Society, her standing as AP Scholar, and a recipient of the prestigious National African American Recognition Program honor.
Beyond her academic success, Jada is deeply involved in her community and exemplifies the values of leadership, service, and compassion. Her passion for healthcare and helping others has led her to pursue a degree in biology and pre-medicine with the goal of becoming a neonatologis or pediatric surgeon.
"We are incredibly proud of Jada," said Jan Vamos, Chairperson of the Board. “Her outstanding academic achievements and unwavering dedication in pursuing a career in neonatology reflect the very best of our future generation. She exemplifies the drive, compassion, and excellence that this scholarship was created to support."
At Advance Financial Federal Credit Union, we believe in investing in the dreams and futures of our youth. Jada’s story reminds us that when we support education, we help build a stronger, brighter tomorrow.
Congratulations, Jada—we can’t wait to see all the lives you’ll touch in the future!
At Advance Financial, we believe in keeping your money where it belongs—working for you! Credit unions are not-for-profit financial cooperatives that exist to serve their members, not to generate profits for shareholders. But now, there’s a growing threat that could impact the benefits you enjoy as a credit union member: unfair taxation.
Big banks and special interest groups are pushing for credit unions to lose their tax-exempt status. If they succeed, it could lead to:
Credit unions reinvest earnings into their members and communities, helping families afford homes, small businesses grow, and individuals build financial security. Taxing credit unions would ultimately hurt you—the member-owner.
We need your voice! The Don't Tax My Credit Union initiative, led by the Credit Union National Association (CUNA), is rallying members across the country to stand against this unfair taxation. Click the button below to learn more and take action today.
Your membership makes a difference. Together, we can protect the future of credit unions and ensure they continue to serve local communities—not corporate interests.
We’re thrilled to share that Advance Financial Federal Credit Union has been voted 2nd Place in the 2025 “Best of the Region” contest—an honor made possible by the support of our amazing members and community!
This recognition means the world to us because it reflects the trust and appreciation of those we serve every day. Whether it’s providing personalized financial solutions, giving back through charitable initiatives, or simply offering a friendly face when you walk through our doors, our mission is—and always has been—centered around you.
We couldn’t have done this without your votes and continued support. Thank you for believing in your local credit union. Here’s to continuing to grow, serve, and succeed—together.
From all of us at AFFCU—thank you for making us one of the best!
