### 3/5 — Payday and Sneak Peek

*2026-08-26, version 2026.8.1*

I wish they would bring back the sneak peek feature so I don’t have to login every time, It was so much more convenient. It would also be nice to have the reserves pay shown on the pay calendar like Active Duty.

### 2/5 — Frequent  system crashes

*2026-08-26, version 2026.8.1*

I joined this bank on the recommendation of a family member whom is a veteran. My issue or big con is the  bank’s app and website crashing several times and phone lines being down. No one can access accounts, pay bills, or use bank cards during this time. It’s an inconvenience. The customer service is great is the biggest pro

### 2/5 — Crashes

*2026-08-23, version 2026.8.1*

App hasn’t been working on my iPhone for quite some time. Deleted the app reinstalled it still get the same error.

### 2/5 — It’s okay. Except mobile deposits, worthless feature

*2026-08-22, version 2026.8.1*

For the time I’ve have this account they have never ever been able to resolve this issue of mobile deposits. No matter the lighting, framing, updates, etc, the image always remains an error with left side blurry. I use mission fed mobile deposits it’s 50/50 but I still have a 50% chance while with navy federal It 0% chance of being able to deposit a check via the app.

### 3/5 — Dark Mode

*2026-08-21, version 2026.8.1*

Needs a dark mode option and an option to stop asking if I want to save device after login. I don’t. I’d rather have the security or “convenience”.

### 3/5 — Just me

*2026-08-20, version 2026.8.1*

The app is too wide and does not fit into the phone so I cannot see the entire app because like I said it’s too wide for the phone so please fix it

### 2/5 — Horrible

*2026-08-20, version 2026.8.1*

This app lately is bad, bad, bad, either it’s been comprised or Navy Federal is literally withholding account information. I log in and I get a blank screen. Nothing works!

### 3/5 — Doesnt work EVER

*2026-08-20, version 2026.8.1*

This app is always updating, it never works its a pain in the butt

### 1/5 — What happened?

*2026-08-20, version 2026.8.1*

Apparently when I try to log in it says they have trouble displaying my information and to try logging out to refresh which I've tried many times and still won't let me log in

### 1/5 — Can’t log in

*2026-08-19, version 2026.8.1*

I can’t log in on my iPhone anymore, just started happening.

### 3/5 — Deposit "FROM" & "TO"

*2026-08-19, version 2026.8.1*

You all need to change this back to how it was. There is no logical reason to have changed this and it is stumping me to this day because it is not ordinary. Select where to move money from first & select the destination next. Easy....

### 1/5 — Process failure

*2026-08-18, version 2026.8.1*

Why on gods green earth would you make my bank log in the same as my phone log in. Not a desired update at all.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-08-18, version 2026.8.1*

Have not been able to open app on iPhone for past 2 weeks, keeps saying error while processing request processing

### 2/5 — Over a year and thenglitxh has not been fixed

*2026-08-17, version 2026.7.2*

Ever since the Mobile App made the downgrade to the money transfer section, I have had to hit each number twice for it to show up. So, besides making it from ‘I want to move this money to here’ to ‘this is where I was to move from there’, there is a feature which makes me type 50000 just to transfer $5.00. Please fix this bug sooner than later.

### 3/5 — Crashes

*2026-08-16, version 2026.7.2*

App hasn’t been working on my iPhone for quite some time. Deleted the app reinstalled it still get the same error.

### 3/5 — Great App BUT…

*2026-08-15, version 2026.7.2*

I love Navy Federal & I love my app as well. The only thing I cannot stand is there are rarely any updates for the app & when you spend your money it’ll trick you some times to show you have more than what you have available in your account. Leading you into being overdrawn. I TRULY cannot stand that.

### 1/5 — What’s happened to navy fed

*2026-08-14, version 2026.7.2*

Apps always buggy now. Wait time for CS is always hours… if they call back at all. Starting to feel like military indeed…When you’re in you’re a guest when you’re out you’re a pest.

### 3/5 — Could be better

*2026-08-14, version 2026.7.2*

Need to add a feature where you can put a description when transferring money

### 3/5 — Frequent  system crashes

*2026-08-13, version 2026.7.2*

I joined this bank on the recommendation of a family member whom is a veteran. My issue or big con is the  bank’s app and website crashing several times and phone lines being down. No one can access accounts, pay bills, or use bank cards during this time. It’s an inconvenience. The customer service is great is the biggest pro

### 1/5 — Unreliable pathetic app

*2026-08-26, version 2026.8.1*

If you are in an urgency and want to transfer money from saving to checking at a evening or during rush hour, you’re doomed with this bank. Their app is always under maintenance and the online tellers are not able to transfer money. Don’t risk this, use BofA instead as they are the most consistent ones I have had so far and reliable ones. Comparing all the banks such as chase, navy fed, BECU etc

### 1/5 — Great app but…

*2026-08-25, version 2026.8.1*

Update didn’t address my problem. I can’t seem to add my State when I’m trying to enroll to my credit score. No matter how many time I tried to put in AE, it comes up Africa.  Hopefully they can address this soon. Also, I can’t enroll on the website either, I try to click on enroll then refresh pops up, hit that, only to go back to enroll again.

### 1/5 — Website more accurate and less hassle

*2026-08-25, version 2026.8.1*

Just crashes too much and is NOT as up to date as the website (which they make harder and harder to access to force people to download the crAPP they made).

### 1/5 — Worst bank ever

*2026-08-23, version 2026.8.1*

As long as you are ok clearing every large transaction with a $15/hr customer service rep please join. If you want to run a business and move money around, look elsewhere. What a complete clown show of a bank.

### 1/5 — HORRIBLE

*2026-08-22, version 2026.8.1*

“THE BLUE SCREEN OF LOADING DEATH AND SPINNING WHITE CIRCLE”. Clicking the app takes you to a loading white circle that takes FOREVER to load…. The app itself is good but the fact that I have to use an internet browser to log into my bank because the app will not load is crazy.

### 1/5 — Bad service and app not good

*2026-08-21, version 2026.8.1*

Why does it take an hour to get help from an agent? This company is horrible and I regret being a member

### 1/5 — Blocks manual login

*2026-08-21, version 2026.8.1*

NFCU staff must be leaving these great reviews.  I HATE THIS APP! It forces the use of a  passcode, won’t accept the correct passcode, then blocks logging in with user name and password.  Why can’t I use my normal log-in and create a new code since the app is blind to it?  “Recovering” forces changes u won’t want to make. Reinstalling does nothing.

### 1/5 — 😩

*2026-08-21, version 2026.8.1*

Este banco es una mierda

### 1/5 — Horrible customer service

*2026-08-21, version 2026.8.1*

I’ve banked with many banks in my years being on earth and I must say navy fed is THE ONLY CREDIT UNION that I had to speak with 6 different people to change my pin!!! I’m still on hold with the 6th person I’m not understanding how nobody can help with this

### 1/5 — TERRIBLE APP

*2026-08-20, version 2026.8.1*

this bank is great, but I am thinking of switching just because how terrible this app is… it is constantly not working and when I call i get no one so guess what, no access to MY money… thinking of switching to Chase due to this ALONE

### 5/5 — ARMY SERVICE MEMBER

*2026-08-13, version 2026.7.2*

Exception service very simple instructions and directions to everything needed!

### 5/5 — Too many glitches

*2026-08-12, version 2026.7.2*

Maintenance be done at weird hours when you need money and the app is stuck so you can not unlock your card for a large amount of time which is frustrating.

### 5/5 — Great app but…

*2026-08-08, version 2026.7.2*

I can’t seem to add my State when I’m trying to enroll to my credit score. No matter how many time I tried to put in AE, it comes up Africa.  Hopefully they can address this soon. Also, I can’t enroll on mobile either, I try to click on enroll then refresh pops up, hit that, only to go back to enroll again. Will try on desktop to see if that works.

### 5/5 — Error

*2026-08-06, version 2026.7.2*

I am not able to access my account when using Face ID on my iPhone

### 5/5 — Awesomeness

*2026-08-06, version 2026.7.2*

Love this Credit union! A great professional and very personable staff always helpful  the Nest fin financial institution in  America hands Down  a long time member

### 5/5 — Not loading correctly

*2026-07-31, version 2026.7.1*

Push notifies email is not working correctly so is the text notification

### 5/5 — Great app Great CU

*2026-07-28, version 2026.7.1*

Been a member since 2013. I can’t think of a bad experience I’ve ever had with NFCU. They have opened more branches in my area making it easy to bank in person, plus a stand alone ATM close to my house. So convenient. App is straight forward and easy to use.

### 5/5 — Love this bank!

*2026-07-26, version 2026.7.1*

I have no issues other than the frequency of scheduled maintenance. I understand maintenance is necessary, but I’ve noticed outages happening fairly often, including recent Zelle maintenance and now account access overnight. These outages can be very inconvenient for members who manage their finances in the evening. I’d appreciate either less frequent maintenance when possible or more advance notice and shorter maintenance windows or even maybe overnight maintenance instead. I couldn’t access my account around 10pm last night due to this.

### 5/5 — Great App, But Please Let Members Add Profile Photos

*2026-07-21, version 2026.7.1*

I’ve been a happy Navy Federal member and really appreciate the app overall. However, one feature I’d love to see is the ability for members to add a profile picture to their account. Many other banks and credit unions already offer this, and it makes the app feel more personalized and modern.

Navy Federal regularly releases updates with new features and improvements, so I’m hoping this is something the development team will consider adding in a future update. It may seem like a small feature, but it would make the member experience feel more complete. Thank you for continuing to improve the app!

### 5/5 — A Great Credit Union!.

*2026-07-17, version 2026.6.2*

Great Customer Service & Great Services!.
