About Air Academy Credit Union
AACU is a member-owned, not-for-profit credit union chartered in 1955, serving Colorado Springs, Monument, and the South Denver Metro area.
What Makes AACU Different
We're member-owned and not-for-profit, which means profits come back to you through lower fees and stronger rates, not shareholder dividends. Every deposit is NCUA-insured up to at least $250,000, and every decision is made locally, by people who actually live in the community we serve.
