“When our Airmen tell us what they want, we listen. We are excited that we have a budgeting tool that puts information and financial tools right at their fingertips to stay connected with us,” said retired Lt. Gen. John D. Hopper, AFAS CEO. “Our goal with this application is to encourage better financial management practices. We also want to offer another avenue for our Airmen and their families to receive timely program information, especially during times of a natural disaster like the one we faced with Hurricane Michael.”
The AFAS Budget Builder App is now available for download through the App Store and on Google Play. For more details on all the new features and enhancements, visit www.afas.org/budgetapp.
