Woo Hoo!! Another "I LOVE NFCU" thread!

[Anonymous]

so got a quick question about

"A relative, roomate or employer who contracts for DON."

I work for Flextronics International INC. and Home Depot... been checking corp website and it kinda hard to find contracts infomation.... but im sure one of those company has some kind of relationship with DON.

If I apply for a checking account do they do a internal check or call me or what? if info private then can you send me private message? thanks.

A couple of weeks ago, someone posted a link to a site that lists every DON contractor since, I believe, 1996 (or was it 2006?).
