nfcu question

[bamagirl1]

hi everyone--

i sent my application for nfcu a few weeks ago, i got a call monday afternoon stating that they need a copy of my most recent paystub..

1. why do they not ask this for everyone?

2. from prev experience, is this usually a good thing or not? approval or not??

3.  after info is faxed how long does it normally take before you know something?

thanks everyone!!

Hey bamagirl,

NFCU asked for proof of income from me before I got

approved for the nRewards Visa and Mastercard for

2k each. So yes, 99.999% of the time this is a good thing

cuz they need the info to determine a credit limit.

And not everyone needs to send in proof of income because

everyone's credit situation is different. Some folks get approved

instantly while others go thru a manual review. And sometimes they

can verify income without asking for a paystub, which is great news

for the applicant.

So in summary, if they're asking you for a paystub you should be in

very good shape. You should hear something within 24 hours.

Please keep us posted and good luck to you!

Agreed with CanDo.  The fact that they are asking for paystubs is definitely a positive sign and is likely needed to help determine the initial CL. 

When I apped for NFCU the first time, they asked for paystubs as well.  This seems to be a fairly common practice with CUs and when you think about it, it's much better than the alternative.  I appreciate creditors who ask upfront rather than those who surprise you later on with requests for financials, but that's another topic for a different thread...

Call me a crazy optimist, but I think it means you're IN.  NFCU is AWESOME!!!

NFCU asked me to fax a copy of my recent pay stub and, since I  have a FA, a copy of a recent utility bill and a copy of my drivers license.

If they are asking for all that stuff, you're approved.

Same situation with me with the FA. I faxed a paystub and utility bill and was approved for $15,000 MC and $10,000 LOC.

They have been known to ask for docs with lower FICO scores. Remember, Navy will be good to you as long as you are good to them.
