Overall Rating: 4.3 / 5 (Excellent)

Navy Mutual offers a set of term life and whole life insurance policies, which are a great option for service members who feel the SGLI and VGLI policies are simply not enough to protect their families. Their Flex Term policy is an especially attractive policy, due to the generous coverage amounts and relatively inexpensive premiums. Members of the military and other eligible services would do well to consider a Navy Mutual policy.

Financial Strength

Company Stability - 4 / 5

Since Navy Mutual's NAIC code is not publicly available, it is impossible to verify their marketshare through NAIC's website. The only other indicator of financial strength we could find was their Fitch credit rating, which is A+. This means that, according to Fitch, their financial outlook is stable. However, potential customers may wish there were more sources to back this prediction up.

Navy Mutual's NAIC code is not publicly available, so there is no way to search for how many complaints they have received through the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. This is one of the few ways to measure policyholder satisfaction with the company.
