Real Tips for Real Life From Our Member Service Reps Around the World

  • I try to advise members to pay themselves first before paying any bills when it comes to saving. Start with a money market account and set aside as much as you can afford, or open a certificate if you don't need the funds right away. That way, if any unexpected life events occur, you won't have to go into debt to pay for them.

  • I recommend having multiple savings accounts for different goals and then adding them to your direct deposit so the money goes directly into them. It also allows you to stay on track within the timeframe you have set to accomplish your goals.

  • I always recommend setting up your monthly bills on Auto Pay through the biller. It ensures that your bills are paid on time to avoid late fees and potential credit marks. And, if you use your Navy Federal rewards credit card for your utilities, insurance, etc., you also earn reward points or cash back for paying your bills!

Text, Navy Federal, Operation Toy Shark Adventure, Based on an actual member's story.

Meet Emma. She loves her toy shark and brings him everywhere she goes.

The situation. She visited a Navy Federal Credit Union branch with her mom and accidentally left her shark behind. Emma and her mom drive away from the credit union.

Text: The Navy Federal team noticed the missing shark and made plans with Emma's mom to return him. Emma's shark is safe with us.

In the meantime, they created a fun story to surprise Emma.

When Emma came to pick him up, she heard how her shark helped open savings accounts, surf the mobile app, assist members and even open his own checking account to buy his favorite snack, gummy fish. For the mobile app, message and data rates apply. Visit navy federal dot org for more information.

Emma was so happy to have her shark back and hear about his exciting day with the Navy Federal team. Mission accomplished.
