Working with Navy Federal’s homebuyers’ program once upon a time was stellar. Customer service provided recently was quite lacking. It was totally disappointing.

Look elsewhere

Phone support was great. Everything in between was disappointing and almost pushed my closing date. I felt like I had to pull teeth to keep the process moving. I had to waiver my right to receive the appraisal within 3 days. And within hours of closing funding was not secured. Thankfully I followed up to save closing hours before. I would not recommend using NFCU as your mortgage lender.

Simply the BEst!

At first I had a Loan Officer that seemed like a new employee, and it was making the process somewhat difficult (new home purchase), however, after speaking with a supervisor and getting a different officer on it, it was the smoothest process i could ever hope for. 10 out of 10!!!!

30+ year loyal member

I have been a loyal Navy Federal member since the early 1990s, but their recent customer service and tech failures are unacceptable.NFCU flagged a legitimate ACH transfer as fraud and froze my account. I called to verify the transfer, but their automated assistant required multiple looping prompts just to get me to a human. I spent 20 minutes on the phone and was shuffled between two different departments.Instead of resolving their mistake, they cancelled my ACH transfer entirely. Worse, they wiped the associated transfer data from my app, forcing me to manually re-enter everything and resend it. The representatives ultimately told me they couldn’t do anything to fix what they ruined.Treating a 30+ year member like a security threat over a mistake on their end—and then making the customer do the extra work to fix it—is poor service.

Great support

Only negative is that the process was a little lengthy. Maham Maqsood NMLS ID# 2477299 who was my Heloc representative was very helpful. Guide me to the process and always keeping me updated.

The process and delays HELOC funding is horrible

The process for moving HELOC funding is drawn out and took 3 times as long as advertised. In addition, the finanve officer could not give regular updates to status unless pushed upon. Absolutely unsatisfactory communication skills for simple things like responding to an email. We will not be using NFCU as a financer for any further loans. Soon after signing for HELOC, we utilized a different lender to purchase another home and were through approval and closing on the house 28 days after loan application. For funds far greater. NFCU loan department has been horrible for the 22 years that i was in the navy. Anytime we used them, it was chasing cats and continuously update documents that if the process was prompt wouldn't have to constantly provide updates on. My wife and I both have credit scores above 810 and maintain revolving debt as less than 8 percent of our income. There is absolutely no reason that it should take as long as it does for the NFCU organization.

2026 Financial Advisor Review

My financial advisor is managing my portfolio well and has done so over the years. He is very good at meeting with me throughout the year, establishing goals and following up on progress. He also keeps me informed of the status of my accounts, any changes or recommendations needed to meet or maintain my goals.
