Great experience

Incredibly easy they make managing your money through their top-rated mobile app. After few years of membership, their early direct deposit options offered (although I haven't taken advantage of it yet), and completely fee-free checking deliver an incredibly smooth, stress-free daily banking experience.

I closed two checking accounts and a credit card expeditiously. Been with them for about 4-5 years, but in 2026, their service has gone downhill. My horrible experience started when I disputed a transaction and uploaded the documentation via the app, and 3 weeks later I got a notification that my dispute had been closed because they didn't receive the documentation that I uploaded. Then, I was ordering food, and I got a screen notification that said "keep your account safe," but the system didn't do anything; it froze, and I had to hold for 45 minutes to resolve that minor issue. Their service has gone downhill; I don't trust their ineffective systems and went back to Citibank and haven't had any issues since.

Smooth loan/Crwdit card rate

The speed of the loan was great!The loan went smoothly. The interest was incredibly high. On a credit card level without the points.

I heard that within 60 days I can try to get a reassessment with $2,500 payed up to that date. Can you verify this?
Thank you in advance
Thank you for the 0.25% off my loan for having direct deposit for my VA disability payment. When my SSDI goes through I will also have it also direct deposit.
I have already finish a $50,000 Pledge Loan

my experience is a mixed bag

my experience is a mixed bag. I got great support for a loan and on closing day, I had to walk away. My loan getting recoded to a different loan took a life on its own and did not factor in any urgency or information that was already available. I had to resend basic information that NFCU already had. My orders were requested again. Pays stab requested again. The process requires an overhaul to triage for service members who are in extremis. If you are not in a hurry, NFCU may be beneficial because their rates are generally lower but you may run into issues if you have to close quickly to support your unique situation.

My rate is incredible, but can’t set-up biweekly autopay.

My rate is incredible. The portal is easy to use. But you’re only able to make a single payment or if you want to do auto pay, you can only set it on monthly payments. You can’t set up biweekly payments online (you have to call in, “ain’t nobody got time for that”), which most people do to squeeze in an extra payment each year.

Additionally, I wanted to let you know that we do offer an easy-pay option for making bi-weekly mortgage payments, and we're available 24/7 at 1-888-842-6328 to discuss this option with you. Thank you again for your review.

EXCELLENT SERVICE EVERY STEP OF THE WAY

The ease by which I was able to secure a loan for the car was commendable. ALL of the information was electronic, and the check was received in a timely manner. The customer service throughout this evolution was outstanding. I was in contact with someone from NFCU every step of the way. I would highly recommend this credit union for any type of loan.

Not what I expected

My experience with the loan process was not great and will be my last. Communication was not good, the rate was higher than advertised, underwriting took over 2 months, the application process was burdensome, and checks were sent to the wrong address. My credit score and history is spotless. I understand now why Rocket Mortgage and other competitors are better options.
