Navy Federal was established in 1933 with just seven members. In 2023, its boasts over 12 million members around the world. “We’re putting members first by taking care of their financial needs in our branches, online, over the phone and supporting the communities where they serve,” said Navy Federal President and CEO Mary McDuffie in a press release. “Service has been at the heart of our organization for 90 years, and we’re proud to go beyond banking to support military communities through nonprofit partnerships that share our values.”
