Between these physical locations and online access, you will never be without your money with Navy Federal.
Though credit unions carry the same products as traditional banks, there are important differences to note. First, only members of a credit union may use that credit union's services, and each member is also a part owner. Credit unions are also not-for-profit, meaning that members of the credit union will receive all profits in the form of dividends or better loan terms.
Additionally, Navy Federal Credit Union is also a national mortgage lender. The credit union offers 15 and 30 year fixed rate mortgages and, as you can imagine, plenty of VA products. Navy Federal also has interesting jumbo loan options available to veterans.
