Default Navy Federal CU

If you sign up for a membership online, how do they verify that you are a member of the miliyary? It asks what branch you are and everything, but do you prove that you are?

They can verify military info through your SSN? Really?

I've had my acct since 1999 when I was stationed @ Okinawa. I've been out since 2002 and still use them for my primary banking acct, auto loans, etc.

Not to mention that if you are active duty military, your pay checks will come from "Department of Defense"

They aren't as great as they used to be, but I still keep them. Their rates are higher than my local credit union, but it is easier to get loans through them. I usually get a loan through them, then refinance it with my local C.U.

Im pretty sure being a military-only CU - They have their hands held by DFAS so they can simply submit an inquiry to them with your SSN to verify if your in military.. I personally opened my account with them in person though, so i had my military ID with my SSN on the back of it as my proof of identity xD

I opened my account in basic with them, but if it wasn't such a pain in the *** I would switch. They are the most horrible bank I have had yet. Every once in a while money goes missing out of my account with no reason and they can't tell me why, they've adjusted the interest on my loans without notifying me so I became late on the payments since the amount changed, I could go on and on. I would go to USAA if I could switch all my stuff over.

Ive been a member since 00, and havent had a single issue with them. Hell, they even called me one time, before a charge even posted. They told me it was a known scam, and that my card has already been closed and a new one was on its way.

I got a question, for us reservist how do we deposit money into our Navy Federal account? There is no base for me to go to have access to one of their banks, I can take money, out of any atm but can not deposit money.

from what I looked up in the past, you can't. The only way you can deposit money into your account is if you go to a co-op ATM and you can deposit a check into your account. I was selling car parts locally and ran into this problem, and that was the only solution I found.
