Wings Financial Federal Credit Union to Open Newest Branch in Orlando

Wings Financial Federal Credit Union, one of the largest credit unions in the United States and the first credit union dedicated to employees of the air transportation industry, today announced that it will open its 18th branch office in Orlando. The branch office, conveniently located near the airport in the Airside Commerce Park at 9647 Tradeport Drive, is scheduled to open on November 1st.

“Our newest branch office is well-positioned to serve one of the busiest travel destinations in America,” said Paul Parish, Wings Financial FCU president and chief executive officer. “Orlando draws visitors from all over the world and with them come the air crews who fly them and the ground staff who support those flights. In addition, Orlando is a major aviation center with numerous aviation-based businesses including AirTran’s corporate headquarters and a JetBlue training facility.

“Aviation professionals need a financial institution that understands their on-the-go lifestyle,” Parish continued. “That means branch offices around the country, most of them at or near airports, and an ATM network that offers over 55,000 surcharge-free ATMs coast to coast. It means online banking that is free and includes a remote deposit feature where members may deposit checks online and receive immediate credit for their deposit, a service offered by only a handful of financial institutions. It means making nearly all of the services available in a branch office available online so members can do business no matter where they are 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We’re pleased that 120,000 members have chosen Wings Financial to fill these needs and we look forward to growing in Orlando.”

Wings Financial has been among the leaders in the credit union industry in serving the aviation industry. Since 2007, the credit union has established a broad range of industry partnerships including agreements with airlines such as AirTran, JetBlue Airways; Sun Country Airlines, and Colgan Air and has been named the official financial institution of aviation organizations such as the Organization of Black Airline Pilots and the Airforwarders Association.
