I have the 15k CLOC for my personal accounts (along with 10k flagship and 5.5k cashrewards).
I have not yet established business accounts with NFCU (i'm with bofa for my biz stuff right now). But i'm thinking i might move my biz stuff to NFCU and ask for a 15k biz cloc -
so i want to know if you can have both personal cloc and biz cloc?
Anyone know?
Yes you can. But I don't think you're going to find NFCU's business side as "great" as its consumer side.

My S-corp is about 10 years old so I had to request paperwork from the state of California proving I am in good standing, and then I had to fill out quite a bit of paperwork... I felt like I was filing my taxes. I did not hear back for weeks, so I called NFCU and they advised me I needed to amend my bylaws. Once I resubmitted my bylaws, about a week later they opened my business account. From there, I waited a few months and applied for a business credit card and a business line of credit. Neither were instant approvals, but about a week later I was approved for $9,000 cl on the cc and the full $15,000 on bcloc. If I remember correctly, it was only one hard pull for both.
Additional info, I had a personal account with NFCU for less than a year and had a personal cc with a modest $2100 limit, and a $15,000 cloc, along with a shares secured loan.
Now that I've had my NFCU business account for a bit, I am very glad I went through the inconvenience of opening it. I have since happily closed my BofA accounts and never looked back. Hope this helps!
I initially started with credit unions because I felt the customer service was superior to that of banks.
NFCU was no exception.
Then, one day, I decided why not start placing some of my business banking with NFCU.
In my book, it was a mistake. Their business side is nothing like their personal side.
1. They had horrendous paperwork just to get started.
2. Their accounts don't synch directly with Quickbooks so there's an extra level of work updating.
3. I deliberately started out modestly with a 5k credit card and 5k line of credit.
4. I haven't asked them for anything, and have maintained the accounts perfectly, so after a year or so I decided to ask them for an interest rate reduction. Big waste of time:
(a) I was given 2 phone numbers to call; both were very slow to return my calls, and required several calls before I eventually got to speak to somebody; and
(b) for a crummy interest rate reduction they wanted me to fill out 8 pages of applications, asking all kinds of personal questions not about my business but about me, many of them completely inappropriate in my opinion. After about 6 pages I gave up.
Sorry, but they're not for me.
I'm sure I can do better elsewhere.
I was going to ask the same question, for Navy Business which CRA did they pull for both the Credit Card and the BLOC?
