Presented annually, the award recognizes on-base financial institutions that provide extraordinary service. This year’s award recognized Frontwave for the distinguished service and financial education it provides to Marines, Sailors and civilians aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton.
“It’s an honor to be recognized once again for our passion for serving the military and our Members’ financial needs,” said Bill Birnie, President/CEO of Frontwave Credit Union. “Frontwave has been serving the Marines, Sailors and civilians aboard Camp Pendleton for nearly 70 years – and our commitment to their financial success remains as strong as ever.”
This is the fifth time in the last seven years that Frontwave has been honored by the Department of the Navy for its service to Marines and Sailors, having won Credit Union of the Year in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and now 2020.
