FROM START TO CLOSING

All the individuals who helped in my process took the time to carefully review the documents, explain everything clearly, and help us better understand the entire process. Every phone call and email was returned promptly, and every question we had was answered with patience and professionalism from start to closing.

Worst choice of Lender

Impersonal, confusing, incompetent, and slow system.

NFCU home equity loan

This was the first time we used our home equity. Process from start to finish was easy with no surprises. From application to close was just a little over 30 days. Each person we dealt with made sure we understood every step and every email or document we received. We also have an auto loan with them that was just as easy. Can’t recommend enough. Unparalleled customer service!

A total of 74 days from application to…

A total of 74 days from application to final approval. Included a conditional approval in early June but final approval took another 6 weeks. Considering a credit score of over 730, no bankruptcies or delinquent payments, and repeated requests for more information and explanations, and the fact that home equity and investments (each some 6x the requested loan) didn't seem to matter. Then...NFCU processors go on vacation without anyone being assigned to close out the effort and fund the loan. Last time we use NFCU for anything...and we've been customers since 1973!!!

Thank you for your review, Michael. Lending approval with us is based on a variety of factors, including an applicant's overall credit history and history with Navy Federal. When you're declined for a loan, we mail you a letter with the specific denial reasons. Once you receive the letter, you're able to call us (1-888-842-6328) so we can discuss the denial with you if you have further questions about it.
