NFCU Membership Eligibility

Hi all

Just wondering, if there are any way to be NFCU member, without any military affiliation? Like what penfed allows to do by donating.

Re: NFCU Membership Eligibility

There is no current way to join without affiliation. There used to be one, but that loophole was closed a little over a year ago.
NFCU $60.4k/PenFed $22.5k/Commerce $15K/53 $11K/Synovus $14K/BBT $11K/CapOne $12K/DCU $7.5K/BMO $7.5K/Chase $14.5k/Cabelas $10K/ and many many more!
Total CL $398600, plus car and RV loan.
Ooh. Ooh. Getting closer to that $500K mark!

Nope, there's no buy-in option (donate 5 bucks) like penfed has. Only direct affilation or through a relative.

I joined NFCU in 2017 by joining the Navy League San Diego chapter. Smiley Very Happy

That is no longer a viable option for joining NFCU

Re: NFCU Membership Eligibility

Not sure if this helps you, but currently, eligibility through military affiliation extends all the way to grandchildren.  And eligibility includes household members of current members or those who are eligible.

I joined nearly 10 years ago by being a Govt. contractor.  Not sure if that option bit the dust since then either.

Re: NFCU Membership Eligibility

I lucked out. My sister was briefly married to an active duty Marine. I got in because of her membership.
