What the developer says changed (the verdict above weighs this against what reviewers report):

This update includes general improvements, enhancements, and bug fixes to provide you with the best possible experience.

Recurring themes

App Performance negative
Many users report the app is slow to load, frequently glitches, freezes, or crashes, making it unreliable for immediate banking needs. This contradicts the developer's notes about 'general improvements and bug fixes'.R12R30R40R42
User Interface/Experience mixed
While some find the app easy to use, a significant number of recent reviews indicate that updates have made the interface confusing, less visually appealing, and harder to navigate, especially for tasks like viewing accounts and paying bills. Some users prefer the old version.R3R4R8R10
Feature Functionality negative
Users report issues with specific features, including transfers (getting errors, limitations on amounts), Zelle not working, mobile check deposit difficulties, and notifications not being delivered. The virtual assistant is also noted as limited.R9R19R27R37
Balance Accuracy/Timeliness negative
Several reviews mention that the app's balance display is often inaccurate or delayed, leading to confusion and potential overdrafts. Transactions are reported to take days to process.R77R106R113R124
Customer Service/Bank Issues negative
Beyond the app, some users express dissatisfaction with GECU's overdraft fees, difficulty getting debit cards, and unhelpful customer service experiences, sometimes leading them to consider switching banks.R2R6R33R39

Who it's for

This app is for existing GECU members who prioritize basic account management and are willing to tolerate occasional performance issues and a potentially confusing interface R3R10R42. It may not be suitable for users who rely heavily on advanced features like Zelle or external bank linking, or who need real-time, accurate balance updates R19R113R130.

Evidence note: The recent reviews skew negative, with many 1-star ratings, which contrasts sharply with the high lifetime rating. This suggests a recent decline in user satisfaction, possibly due to the latest updates. The developer's notes are generic and do not address the specific issues reported by users.

  14. [R18] 1/5 · US Bugs too much about review: Every time I open the app it asks about a review
  15. [R30] 1/5 · US Good enough.: Does its job. It’s glitchy here and there, but overall decent. It’s very annoying about posting reviews.

  17. [R8] 3/5 · US Confusing: The changes to the app make it visually less appealing and more confusing when it comes to viewing accounts. Since the changes, its easier to make mistakes when making transfers
  18. [R31] 3/5 · US New version: I used to love it but the bill pay is not very helpful as it doesn’t give a big picture view
  19. [R38] 1/5 · US Not easy to use: If there was a no star option I would give one. I do not know why the billing was changed but you all have made it more inconvenient to find and pay bills. I will be moving to another banking system. I don’t like how you changed things the way they were supposed to be we’re just fine. You have to go around and find things when they were there before. Your system is incredibly inef
  20. [R41] 1/5 · US Necesita muchas mejoras: Está nada amigable. Para ver transacciones tienes que navegar en muchos menús
  21. [R9] 3/5 · US Error: Every time, when I schedule a transfer from my sabings account, I m getting an error message.
  22. [R19] 3/5 · US Notifications: Used to be so good! Every-time I made a purchase with my debit card I would get a notification instantly and an email too. But lately it hasn’t been notifying me and it worries me! I’ve tried everything! Everything is on and still nothing! How will I know if I get fraudulent charges? I don’t want to log in multiple times a day to check my funds. Please fix this!!!!!
  23. [R76] 1/5 · US Check deposit: The mobile deposit is absolute trash
  24. [R130] 3/5 · US Zelle doesn’t work: This has frustrated me to no end that I am unable to get Zelle to work on this app. For years since having the app I have never been able to use the Zelle feature which apparently only works on the app. All the other features work fine but not being able to use Zelle is frustrating
  25. [R77] 2/5 · US Good, not my favorite.: The bank itself is good, tellers and other associates are very helpful. But the app is what keeps me with Wells Fargo predominantly. It is late in tracking purchases and transfers. If the app was more up to date, they would be our main bank.
  26. [R106] 3/5 · US Manage the account on line.: Sometimes it is confuse keep the correct track on the account balance. More clarity between, deposits , expenses, withdrawals and pending charges .
  27. [R113] 1/5 · US Not worth it: The account balance is wrong all the time and makes me over draft. I hate this checking account.
  28. [R127] 3/5 · US Confused: It’s sad and difficult to understand this application! It doesn’t show me accurate transactions! At times it puts me on jeopardy in the amount I can spend
  29. [R25] 5/5 · US Review: Stop these
  30. [R29] 5/5 · US Me: Can it please stop asking me to write a review
  31. [R37] 1/5 · US Not user friendly: Doesn’t allow external banks to be connected for auto payments. It’s 2026, this should not be an issue.
  32. [R52] 1/5 · US Update is bad: Doesn’t let me transfer to loan account.
  33. [R56] 1/5 · US No principal pays: It is not possible to give a principal pay with this app
  34. [R63] 1/5 · US Too bad I can’t make escrow or principal payment: This app is awful! The app nor the website allow me to make escrow or principal payments. Awful service I have to go in to the bank to make escrow or principal payments. Not getting my mortgage loan here ever again.
  35. [R42] 3/5 · US Latest 2025.10 Update: The latest update with this Gecu App is extremely slow. I’ve had this app for years and it has never been this slow. The previous update was perfect. Sometimes things need to be left untouched. I hope GECU can look into this matter. The initial load process can take 10-15 seconds to finally load and show ur info. Frustrating when at times when u need this info immediately. T
  36. [R27] 4/5 · US Virtual assistant: Virtual assistant is very limited and would be nice to be able to leave messages
  37. [R124] 2/5 · US Update: Needs to posts payments much faster. Also, they need to integrate contactless payments on the card instead of using the chip.
  38. [R2] 1/5 · US Negative: Honestly every other bank in elpaso wouldn’t charge an arm & leg for an overdraft fee as much as they do over & over but you get what you can right! Shout out to CHASE WELSS FARGO BANK OF AMERICA YALL are awesome don’t bank with GECU
  39. [R6] 1/5 · US Bad: Such a bad bank
  40. [R33] 1/5 · US Bank sucks dong: Bank sucks
  41. [R39] 1/5 · US Bad service: Can’t even get a debit card at a branch
  42. [R67] 1/5 · US Suckish app: The app sucks. It takes so long to load something despite being on WiFi. Not to mention there are so many options but noneof them work.
  43. [R184] 3/5 · US Still a Horrible App: I’ve reviewed this app before and I am so sad to report that none of the bugs that were present before have been resolved. This app constantly crashes, doesn’t reflect current data, widget doesn’t work properly, and worst of all often shows an incorrect balance. I’m ready to leave GECU as a whole, simply because they can’t seem to figure out what they are doing. If I can’t tr
  44. [R107] 3/5 · US Difficult setting up bill pay: Since having the app I haven’t figured out how to set up bill pay. This should be an easy feature on apps but I’m going to have to drive to the local branch to get assistance.
  45. [R176] 3/5 · US Crashes too many times and transactions delay: I like the app but it crashes often and it takes days for transactions to process. So basically not always up to date on balances.
  46. [R238] 3/5 · US Zelle extension: I have encountered problems when signing into Zelle due to gecu having it and requires me to do so from gecu app however it will not allow me to accept the terms and conditions box
