Mobile and Online Banking FAQs
What's digital banking?*
Digital banking gives you quick, direct access to your funds. You can access your accounts and automate your finances using our mobile app or online banking, and easily manage your money on your time.
With digital banking, you can:
- make payments with free, online Bill Pay
- easily transfer money to another member
- send money to family and friends in minutes with Zelle®Footnote [1]
- deposit checks safely and securely with mobile deposit
What's security code verification?
It’s a security feature that adds an additional layer of protection when enrolling in digital banking. Composed of random numbers, we’ll send you this unique code to enter during your enrollment session to further verify your identity. Please make sure the mobile phone number we send to is able to receive text messages.*
Will Navy Federal ever call me to ask for my security code?
No, Navy Federal will never call you to ask you for your code.
What number will the security code come from?
The message will come from 739-49.
How much time do I have to complete the verification?
You'll have 6 minutes to successfully complete the verification. If you run out of time, tap or click the link to resend your code.

To close your account, you can visit a branch, send a secure message, write a letter to PO Box 3000, Merrifield, VA 22180 or call 1-888-842-6328.
How is my app sign-in experience changing?
With this update, the 4-digit Navy Federal mobile app passcode has been retired. Instead, you’ll now use the PIN or unlock method (such as your device’s PIN, Face ID or Touch ID) that you use to unlock your phone or tablet.
Why is this change happening?
We’ve updated the sign-in experience to make it simpler and more aligned with industry standards. This reduces the number of credentials you need to remember and streamlines access to your account.
I don’t have a passcode or unlock method set up on my device. What are my options?
You can still sign in using your username, password and two-step verification. For a faster, more convenient experience, you may also choose to enable your device’s unlock method (such as Face ID, Touch ID or a PIN/pattern) through your device settings.
What happens if there’s an issue with the update?
In rare cases, we may briefly revert to the previous sign-in experience while we address any issues. Once resolved, the updated sign-in will be restored.
