Trustworthy and wide range of product and services offered. The only disappointment was the awkward ane slightly difficult process of transferring funds from NFCU account(s) to external accounts.

Based on my experience

Based on my experience, the mortgage team did not appear to work collaboratively; instead, they seemed to operate in silos. Although we submitted all requested documentation promptly, it did not appear to be uploaded or shared in a timely manner. As a result, each person who supported our loan officer during his paternity leave repeatedly requested the same documents that had already been provided, creating unnecessary delays and frustration throughout the process.

Additionally, our closing date was postponed because of a requirement that, after conducting my own research, I determined was not actually necessary. When I escalated my concerns to the supervisor, I did not receive a timely response. When the supervisor did respond, the information provided was inaccurate and did not resolve the issue, further contributing to the delay and our overall dissatisfaction with the process.

Five Stars Well Earned

I've been a Navy Federal Credit Union member for several years, and they've earned my trust. Every interaction has been professional, respectful, and focused on helping rather than selling.
As a Marine Corps veteran, I appreciate being treated like a valued member instead of just an account number. Their knowledgeable staff, excellent customer service, competitive financial products, and easy-to-use banking tools have made a real difference in my financial journey.
If you're looking for a credit union that genuinely puts its members first, I highly recommend Navy Federal Credit Union. They've earned my loyalty.
Semper Fi!

The Navy Federal Credit Union customer…

The Navy Federal Credit Union customer service line was a little disappointing as I’ve always talked to someone over the phone and not had any issues until I spoke with the customer service rep on today 8/1/2026.

I already had to wait 35 minutes for someone to come to the call and I missed the first phone call because when I answered it, no one said anything and they stated they will call me back in five minutes. When the call came back in five minutes. I was greeted by a male who I informed that I activated my card on the app and as well as the telephone number that’s placed on the front of a debit card that I received in the mail today. Instead of him hearing me out as to what I was informing him that my card should have been activated already because the prompt from the end of the car informed me that my car has now been activated. It makes it seem very suspicious as if that telephone number was not part of Navy Federal Credit Union, even though it was on the front of the card. The representative got really quiet on the phone after I said something and gave me silence for about one minute and a half, which is very rude. He needs to get out his feelings and listen to the customers explain instead of him thinking he knows everything, and be a little bit more empathetic.

We have been with Navy Federal for 15+ years and the experience has been great overall. The customer reps are always friendly and helpful and the product offering is great. The only issue we had was related to some of the stipulations when we purchased our last home using a VA loan. Navy Federal requested the builder to sign a waiver in which the builder refused so we went with a different lender who did not require it.

I had an outstanding experience using Navy Federal for my auto loan. The entire process was smooth, straightforward, and surprisingly fast. Applying for preapproval was easy, and I received a decision quickly, which gave me confidence and a clear budget before I started shopping for a vehicle.

One of the biggest advantages was the competitive interest rate and transparent terms—there were no hidden surprises. The customer service representatives were professional, knowledgeable, and willing to answer all of my questions throughout the process.

When it came time to finalize the purchase, everything went exactly as expected, making the dealership experience much less stressful.

I also appreciated how convenient it was to manage the loan through the mobile app and online banking. Overall, Navy Federal made refinancing my vehicle simple and hassle-free.

I would absolutely recommend Navy Federal’s auto loan program to anyone who qualifies for membership and is looking for a reliable, efficient lending experience.
