Navy Federal uses Access Numbers as a unique member identifier. You’re assigned an Access Number when you join Navy Federal. Previously, an Access Number was necessary to sign in to digital banking, but now you can access your account with your username. A custom username allows you to create an easy-to-remember, convenient sign-in option. Both are secure ways to access your Mobile and Online accounts.

Your username must be 6 to 32 characters in length and must contain at least one letter. You can’t use your full Access Number and we don’t recommend using your full email address. Using special characters and numbers is encouraged; however, only four special characters are allowed (. _ @ -).
