How to get a Navy Federal proof of funds letter

1Ask the person requesting proof what they need: the amount, how recent the balance must be, which accounts count, and whether the letter should be addressed to them.
2Visit a Navy Federal branch with a photo ID, or contact Navy Federal customer service if you can’t get to one.
3Ask for a proof of funds letter (some bankers call it a verification letter or balance letter) on bank letterhead, signed by the banker.
4Say which accounts to include and the date the balance should be shown as of.
5Check the letter before you send it: your name should match your offer exactly, and the balance should cover what the recipient asked for.

What the letter should say

Bankers write these often, but it helps to ask for exactly what the recipient will check. A complete proof of funds letter includes:

Your full name: Exactly as it appears on the offer, application, or contract.
The bank: The bank’s name and contact details, on bank letterhead.
Accounts: Account type and the last four digits of each account you want included.
Available balance: The balance in each account, and the total if there’s more than one.
Date: The date the balance is shown as of. Most recipients want it within 30 to 60 days.
Signature: A banker’s name, title, and signature, so the recipient can confirm it.

When you’ll be asked for one

Sellers and listing agents ask buyers for proof of funds before accepting an offer, especially on cash offers. It also comes up for down payments on a home, large deposits, private investments, and business purchases. If you’ve been asked for a bank statement as proof of funds, a letter or a balance report shares less.
