Very easy to apply for my car loan online. And then just show up at local branch and receive paperwork to bring to the dealership.

Navy Federal is a joke!

Navy Federal is a joke!

Their online banking system is faulty and made a large (double) transfer on 6/12/2026 without my approval or authorization, resulting in excess payments of over $7,000 on our credit card.

When I called them, they refused to fix the problem and told me to call my other (transfer) bank to dispute the charge and have it reversed, which I did.

Then I made a large payment (in-full) well ahead of the due date, but they charged me $76.87 in interest on 7/15/2026 even though I have paid the card balance IN-FULL well before the due dates every month since we got the card earlier this year.

Apparently, when the payment was reversed, as I was told to do by their rep, it triggered an interest charge for some reason even though I have never carried a balance on the card (in order to avoid paying interest).

I sent certified complaint letters to the bank and their board of directors and secure messages on the website, but almost a month later they have not bothered to contact me or reverse the interest charge as I requested.

We were considering them for a substantial VA loan, but decided on another lender because of their loan officer´s unwillingness to help us and poor customer service.

We were also considering transferring all of our bank accounts to Navy FCU originally, but now we will be closing all of our accounts and filing complaints with federal regulatory agencies.

Customers beware!

I had a great experience with Navy…

I had a great experience with Navy Federal throughout my home-buying process. From start to finish, the team was professional, responsive, and made what can be an incredibly stressful process feel much easier to navigate. Communication was clear, my questions were answered quickly, and I always felt like I knew exactly where things stood.

What impressed me even more was how efficiently Navy Federal handled everything. The only reason I didn’t close in less than six weeks was because the VA-appointed appraiser decided to go on vacation in the middle of the appraisal timeframe, which was completely outside of Navy Federal’s control. Despite that delay, their team stayed on top of everything and kept the process moving.

I genuinely felt like they wanted to help me get to the finish line rather than treating me like just another loan application. I’m extremely happy with my decision to use Navy Federal for my mortgage and would absolutely recommend them, especially to veterans and military families looking for a lender they can feel confident working with.

I call NFCU, asking for a car loan. I was so excited when they said yes and offered more than I asked for. The monthly payment is lower than I thought possible. NFCU will always have my family and my banking business..
