Navy Federal is the single largest financial institution serving military-affiliated households in this entire region — and it is NOT insured by the FDIC. It's insured by the NCUA instead (a comparable but separate federal insurance system for credit unions), a distinction many military families banking here may not realize, since 'FDIC-insured' is the phrase most people are trained to look for.

Terms
Arbitration
Disclosures reviewed this pass did not surface a binding arbitration/class-action-waiver clause — unlike most large banks above. Confirm directly since credit unions can still include arbitration in membership agreements even if not in this specific disclosure document.
Data sharing
Explicitly states it does NOT sell member information for monetary consideration; has its own API (via Finicity/Mastercard partnership) for member-controlled data sharing with third-party apps, framed as a more secure/consent-based alternative to screen-scraping.
Fees and billing
NSF fee charged on first returned item per current fee schedule (amount not itemized in excerpt).
Contacts
Privacy contact. Not recorded.
Legal notice. Not verified this pass. If publicly traded: SEC Form 10-K cover page gives the official corporate address; the Secretary of State business-entity search in the state of incorporation gives the registered agent, which must accept service. If private: the state registered agent is usually the only reliable route.
Mailing address. Not recorded.
