How long does it take to update my payment method for a merchant using Card on File?
It can take anywhere between a few minutes to 24 hours to update your payment method for a merchant. We’ll send you an email confirmation once we’ve successfully connected your card.
What if I don’t remember the password for my merchant account?
Card on File supports the ability to update your account username and password. To update your credentials, you’ll be redirected to the merchant website. Once updated, you can finish connecting the merchant to your card.
Can I sign up for a merchant’s services using Card on File?
You’ll need to visit the merchant’s site to start a new service. Once you’ve started a service with a participating online merchant, Card on File helps you manage your recurring payments and subscriptions.
What if I'm already using my Navy Federal card at a merchant?
You can still connect the same Navy Federal Credit or Debit Card as payment using Card on File. Once you’ve connected your card with a merchant, Card on File will store your sign in credentials so you can easily manage future payments.
What happens when my Navy Federal card is reissued?
If your card is reissued due to loss, theft, renewal or replacement, Card on File will let you know if any connected merchants no longer have valid payment info. Tap on the notification banner in the app to easily reconnect these merchants to your reissued card.
Why don't I see my card in Card on File?
If an eligible Navy Federal Debit or Credit Card isn’t visible in Card on File, please double-check that the card is activated. If you’re the primary cardholder or an authorized user, you can use digital banking to activate your card.
Can I stop payments to a connected merchant through Card on File?
We’re unable to revoke the authorization you provided to a participating online merchant, so your best option is to contact the merchant directly.
You may request us to stop payment on a series of recurring preauthorized payments, but this won’t stop any additional payments you authorize (or have authorized) to that merchant.
Can I remove a card I've connected to a merchant?
Card on File only permits adding and switching payment methods. To remove your Navy Federal card as a payment method, you’ll need to contact the merchant directly.
If you don’t want to see a connected merchant in Card on File, you can remove them from your list using the EDIT function at the top right of the main screen.
