Navy Federal’s Lending division takes prudent risk and maximizes profitability,
all while upholding a preeminent member experience. This is no small feat: challenges
arise that require that we stretch ourselves to innovate, to break new ground,
to open new horizons. Recent challenges include CECL, AnyLogic simulation, SRM
Mission and Automation, and credit card optimization.<span style="color:red"> </span>We
surmount these challenges because we collaborate to share our knowledge; because we ask tough, insightful questions; and because we push ourselves to grow and achieve excellence. </span></p>

we maximize them? How can we co-create our future to work more seamlessly, to
be more agile and innovative, and to enhance our well-being? What does that
look like, and how can we get there?</span></p>
