GoVA‘s mission is to empower members to build financial strength. We equip military members with personalized financial education and interactive tools through free memberships to The Edge, thanks to scholarships from our sponsors.

With tools for your entire financial journey, GoVA wants to support you every step of the way. Whether you are a young military family learning to budget, preparing for a baby, and paying student loans, or you’re a Veteran family planning for retirement and buying a home, we are here for you. With a motto of “Educate, Prepare, Deploy,” GoVA leads with education first, so all members will feel prepared to make informed financial choices. Then we connect you to military-friendly professionals who can help you ‘deploy’ initiatives like a mortgage, auto loan, or insurance policy.

On our digital platform, The Edge, you’ll find interactive courses, calculators, tools, and articles on a variety of financial topics. Our smart technology learns with you to suggest content relevant to YOUR financial journey, so you’ll have “the edge” on your money choices. We believe military families deserve access to high-quality, smart tech tools that will improve financial education and decision-making in our community. That’s why we make our membership FREE for service members, Veterans, and their spouses.

The financial education tools on The Edge meet the educational standards of regulatory agencies like the FDIC, Department of the Treasury, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Institute for Financial Literacy, and others. Content is updated regularly so our members always have trusted information available in the palm of their hand.

Spouse-ly members can join The Edge for free using the Military Spouse signup here.
