Always professional with great rates and policies.

What makes it great is they did and do what they have done every loan ect I've done with NFCU. They had clear and defined rates and policies, they had people that explained the options and process, they answered questions and had options and solutions when needed.

This loan required more time and a correction as the dealership had a policy that slowed things down, they were not familiar with pre approval check or the system of contacting for confirmation and needed guidance. NFCU corrected an error submitted and allowed the process to continue successfully...

They've always done great and are a pleasure to work with... did I mention good/fair rates/fees..

Well am still waiting for that help and guidance that is referred to in the intro. Six year don’t recall a plus for an any one calendar year. At this point my account has decreased by approx 100k . Had it made even 3 or 4% over these past six years would have been nice . Always hear what the market is making not about what my account is loosing! What we can do to improve it, strategy for going forward.

After years of loyal banking

After years of loyal banking, NFCU locked my account without explanation. They forced me to fill out a security appeal that promised (on the form) a 15 business day turnaround. It has been over two months. Because they are holding my money hostage, I cannot access my own capital to pay my bills, causing my credit score to plummet. In-person staff lied to my face about the timeline, phone support dismissed me with "first-come, first-served" excuses, and they refuse to let members contact the appeals team. NFCU clearly learned nothing from their recent major class-action lawsuits. I am currently documenting all financial damages caused by this unlawful freeze and am preparing to take formal legal action. Do not bank here unless you want your savings held hostage.

HELOC experience.

Before initiating my application with Navy Federal I made sure I had all of the needed documentation ready to go for a loan of this type. I really loved the Homesquad feature and the easy loading of documents, The loan officers were also very helpful and reachable, good communication there overall. My only criticism will be to the Underwriter time lenght portion and finilizing the loan, I think it was a bit excessive, considering not having many request to clarify or produce other documentation to substantiate my loan information. When I heard the loan officer said that it could take up to 45 days to close, trust me it did took that long, I was to expectation that 4 weeks would have been sufficient when providing all docs timely and accurately. Moral of the story, plan well ahead and set expectations further than the normal amount of time you might think the loan process will take.

This was our second mortgage experience…

This was our second mortgage experience we have had with NFCU.

We just closed on purchasing a 2nd home in Idaho. I would like to personally thank Cameron and Tim in your Mortgage Dept. Both of these gentlemen were outstanding during the process. They were knowledgeable and very responsive with communication which was very much appreciated due to the home and my husband being in Idaho, and myself in Florida. It was our pleasure working with them.

It seems things were going great UNTIL the loan process went to the closing dept. That's when things started to fall apart. Mostly from what I can tell was a lack of communication and direction from the NFCU closing dept. to our Idaho Title Company and realtor. This caused much confusion and stress right up to and on the day of closing. I wish it could have closed better for all involved.
