Credit and collateral subject to approval. Existing Navy Federal loans are not eligible for this offer. Auto refinance loan must be at least $5,000. Loan must be open for at least 60 days with first scheduled payment made to be eligible for the $200, which will be credited to the primary applicant’s savings account between 61 and 65 days of the loan origination date. Offer may end at any time. Recipient is solely responsible for any personal tax liability arising out of this incentive.

Guaranteed Rate Match is available for purchase and refinance first mortgages when all eligibility requirements are met and if Navy Federal will not match the valid rate match request. Exclusions apply, and loans under the Lock and Shop program are not eligible. Member must lock their rate with Navy Federal before submitting a rate match request; member must also submit the competing lender’s Loan Estimate and rate-lock disclosure within 3 calendar days of locking the rate with Navy Federal; the competitor’s rate must also be locked; and both the Loan Estimate date and rate-lock effective date must be within 3 calendar days of your Navy Federal lock. Only these documents are accepted as proof of competitor terms, which must match Navy Federal’s loan exactly (e.g., a 30-year fixed with mortgage insurance is not the same as a 30-year fixed without mortgage insurance). Loan Estimates from wholesale lenders or brokers are only acceptable if the Lender Information section is completed. To receive the $1,000 incentive, members must provide a signed final Closing Disclosure and final Mortgage Note within 30 calendar days of closing with the competitor lender. The offer is invalid if loan terms or conditions change before or at closing. Once approved, $1,000 will be deposited into the member’s Navy Federal account within 30 days of receiving the required documents. Recipients are responsible for any tax liability resulting from this incentive.
