Pros: Good Rates

I am a member of this credit union because I am lucky enough to have a father that served for the country. I absolutely love this credit union because of their minimum requirements. To avoid fees you only have to have $5 in your savings, compare that...

Pros: user-friendly, lots of options
Cons: a few minor mix-ups

Pros: Reliable, efficient, friendly
Cons: long lines

I was put on my husband's account when he joined the Navy almost a year ago. I can tell you, that out of all the banks out there, Navy Federal is by far the best bank I have ever been with. They keep things simple, the people are kind and willing to...

Pros: Free checking, low loan rates, quick approval status
Cons: Limited locations

When my husband joined the navy, we needed a bank that was going to be at each base or in the vicinity. We heard about Navy Federal and we looked into it. After being members for two and a half years, I wouldn't even think about leaving. They are at...

Pros: Cutting edge customer service
