The Arkansas FCU Mobile Banking app is praised by many for its ease of use, convenience, and the strong customer service of the credit union itself R2R8. However, recent updates have led to a decline in functionality, with users reporting issues like biometric login failures, problems with mobile deposits, and difficulty making payments R62R77R19. This contrasts with the lifetime rating, suggesting a negative trajectory in user experience.

Latest update · v4021.2.0

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

Our new experience provides easier access to the features you use most while on the go. This new version includes updates to the accounts, mobile deposit and navigation experience.

Recurring themes

Login & Biometrics negative
Many users report constant issues with logging in, including the app signing them out repeatedly, Face ID or Touch ID not working, or requiring frequent password changes. This directly contradicts the expectation of 'easier access' from the developer's notes.R37R42R62R103
Mobile Deposit negative
Several users state that mobile deposit functionality is either completely broken, missing after updates, or has new, restrictive limits on deposit amounts and holding times. This is a significant regression, despite the developer's notes mentioning updates to the mobile deposit experience.R43R55R71R77
Payments & Transfers negative
Users frequently encounter difficulties making bill payments, transferring money, or linking external accounts. The absence or difficulty of using Zelle is also a common complaint.R5R19R35R81
User Interface & Design negative
The app's design is criticized for poor text visibility, lack of scalability on mobile screens, difficulty sorting transactions, inability to organize accounts, and confusing navigation. Some users feel it's not optimized for mobile and is a poor rendering of the website.R39R64R66R78
App Stability negative
Several reviewers report the app crashing frequently, getting stuck in loops, or experiencing general malfunctions, especially after recent updates.R19R103R113R117
Customer Service (Credit Union) positive
Despite app issues, many users consistently praise the credit union's customer service for being friendly, helpful, professional, and responsive to problems. However, some users struggle to reach phone support.R1R3R6R24

Who it's for

This app is for existing Arkansas Federal Credit Union members who need basic account access and are willing to tolerate potential login issues and limited functionality for payments and mobile deposits R2R8R19R62. It is not recommended for users who rely heavily on mobile deposit, Zelle, or seamless biometric login, or who expect a highly polished and stable banking app experience R43R77R89R104.

Evidence note: The recent reviews show a strong negative shift in sentiment compared to the lifetime rating, with many specific complaints about functionality introduced or worsened by recent updates. While there are still positive reviews, they often praise the credit union itself rather than the app's current state, or focus on basic ease of use that is contradicted by other users' experiences with more advanced features. The developer's notes claim 'easier access' and updates to mobile deposit, but recent reviews directly contradict these claims with reports of login issues and broken mobile deposit.

  5. [R18] 5/5 · US So convenient: I live outside of Arkansas, so the app helps me deposit checks and do almost everything I need to do. They're constantly making improvements to it, and I find it very stable. I also feel like the security is really good. I like being able to see my accounts at a glance and make transfers and just about anything else that I can do online. I actually prefer to use the app over using t

  11. [R3] 5/5 · US Mike -Customer: This organization is great to work with. They also have your back if there is a problem. It is always good to have an extra security team in your corner.
  12. [R6] 5/5 · US Benton and Bryant branches: Greatest customer service I have ever had at a banking institution. Always pleasant, knowledgeable, professional. They make you feel at home when you walk in the door.
  13. [R24] 5/5 · US Excellent!!! Customer service care: I love this credit union
  14. [R62] 1/5 · US Frustrating: App sign me out literally every single time. Why can’t it just read my biometrics like I have checked and like every single other app out there? It’s ridiculous and insanely frustrating.
  15. [R103] 1/5 · US I hate it: This app has been messing up for the last 2 weeks. I haven’t been getting any notifications, and I have to log in every single time i want to access the app.
  16. [R104] 2/5 · US Face ID never works: This app is always kicking me out. It always says an error occurred and makes me type in my password even though I have my Face ID set up. Very annoying.
  17. [R113] 1/5 · US Poor design: Doesn’t work well. When I tap on “more” it gets into a loop and have to close the app. Also doesn’t seem to suppler Touch ID. Needs improvement. Would be nice if it worked like the android version.
  18. [R43] 5/5 · US Update removes features: This latest update removed mobile deposit. This was 90% of what I used this app for. What happened!?
  19. [R71] 5/5 · US Mobile Deposit: Need to be able to deposit more than $500 weekly payroll check. If you are a customer is in good standing you should have no problem depositing at weekly payroll check. This check shouldn’t be held for two days. So when I deposit my $930 payroll check they hold 430 until Monday or Tuesday. Prior to the upgrade I could deposit without any problem. Now I have to go to the bank so my
  20. [R77] 1/5 · US LAR missing/can’t read.: This app used to be good but now it can’t ever seem to read ANY check. LAR missing is the theme of the updated app. Mobile banking doesn’t work when the app can’t seem to read ANYTHING!
  21. [R189] 1/5 · US remote deposit: not working
  22. [R5] 1/5 · US Kenny: My account still locked. I can only view and still can’t make any bill payments. If I wasn’t a long time member I would put less than 1 star.
  23. [R19] 3/5 · US App not working?: The app worked great for about a year, but I went to pay my bill this month and nothing is working…. I think the most recent update broke the functionality?
  24. [R35] 3/5 · US Can’t use Zelle or transfer money or use debit card: Locked my debit card I can’t transfer money from checking or use PayPal or Zelle. Call center closed at 6 so I don’t have access to to funds all weeks
  25. [R81] 2/5 · US App doesn’t save bank data: Saved my banking information 3!times on app and every month I have to add it back just to pay my truck payment. Can never get anyone to help me and tell me why it al aye dissappears. If it doesn’t add then I have to call number and pay over phone and get charged a 7.50 service fee.! That is so wrong because it cost me money that pay a loan!!!!
  26. [R89] 3/5 · US No Zelle: I need Zelle for this app
  27. [R101] 3/5 · US AFCU: Can’t find the Zelle app on the new update and also it’s impossible to sort through transactions without have to scroll down the entire account.. should be able to sort by date
  28. [R39] 1/5 · US Need better text visibility: Wherever your text is light gray instead of black, you should fix that. Wherever your screens are not scalable on a mobile screen, you should also fix that.
  29. [R64] 5/5 · US The new my cards button 😝: Why put that where the bill pay has always been? Can you make it to where we can switch out our radio buttons to our own preferences? Or just put that my card crap where you stashed the bill pay. Thank you for your consideration.
  30. [R78] 5/5 · US Too bright: Could use a warmer and easier to read appearance or dark mode
  31. [R117] 2/5 · US App Needs Fixed: 1/8/22 since the most recent update I can’t sign out of the mobile app. When I click my name for the sign out option it starts scrolling fast and won’t stop. I can choose any options and can’t sign out. If this could be fixed the app would work great.
  32. [R135] 1/5 · US Terrible: The updated app 10/13 is much worse than the old version. Half the screen is covered by ads cannot change time zone, text is very small. Crashes every other time I open it. Just horrible
  33. [R79] 1/5 · US Can’t get in contact: Can’t get the bank to answer been in que for hrs
  34. [R137] 2/5 · US Disappointed: For some reason my auto loan is not showing up on my mobile app and I have tried to call the customer service line and have never been able to get through and no one has ever called me back.
  35. [R37] 4/5 · US Nice app: It never remembers me even though I click it every time.

  37. [R55] 5/5 · US Great app: Depositing my check was safe and easy
  38. [R66] 2/5 · US App problem: This started with the last update. The landscape mode doesn’t Work on my iPad. All other apps work fine. Even when I link to The credit card section it will turn to landscape.
