- [R19] Easy and clean.: Easy app to use very clear and intuitive, a clean a simple look to the app has added a lot of visual comfort as well. Big fan of the Touch ID login.
- [R29] User friendly: Very user friendly app.
- [R35] Awesome app: I am a client of CNB and a big bank. The CNB app is just as good as the big bank app I use. In some ways it's better. It's simple and easy to use. Just got CNB's iPad app and it's better than the big bank app I use. Considering the great personal service I get at CNB the bank is a clear winner that also offers me all the 'stuff' my big bank does.
- [R48] Great to finally have an app for CNB!: Functionality worked perfectly! App is vibrant, user friendly, and extremely convenient.
- [R17] My Bank App: This is a really nice app. Let's you see all your account information. Easy to navigate. See your account history, transfer funds and make deposits of checks.
- [R24] It has the basics down well: The app works well to check balances, transaction history, locate ATMs and transfer money to different accounts (and doesn't crash). I would like to see additional features such as bank deposit (I lose checks because it takes me so long to get to a branch) to make the app a 5 star.
- [R32] Great App: Very easy to check balances, see withdrawals, and transfer money. Thanks City National
- [R4] Review: Have made paying bills so much easier
- [R23] Functional but Lacking: This app is very good for checking your balances and paying bills. It is way behind most of the apps for other banks which have much more functionality. This app cannot be used to deposit checks or set up new online payments. The web site works very well on an iPad and using this app is optional.
- [R33] Good App CNB but missing check deposit by phone: The App for CNB Bank is easy and convenient but its missing a very important part being able to deposit a check by taking picture (mobile check deposit). Overall great you can also pay bills.
- [R12] Remote Check Deposit: RDC is very convenient and easy to use. I wish the were a little more flexible on the amount you can deposit so I don’t have to run to the bank or wait. But overall, the service is good and the people at the branches very kind.
- [R21] CNB banking ap: For not being a tech savvy consumer just made my first check deposit and was surprised at how functionally easy it was.
- [R2] Zelle crashing: I will update review when they fix this problem, but every time I try to open the Zelle tab the app crashes. It’s happening on my IOS, because the Android version is working fine…
- [R10] Weak App: Something is always broken on this app. Zelle is down 25% of the time. After you take picture of deposit it asks you to look at picture 3 times. When I call they tell me to try tomorrow.
- [R16] Mobile deposit is terrible: Your mobile deposit is soo bad. It only accepts the check like 20% of the time. Other bank site are so much better. I’ve tried to tell the bank but nobody cares.
- [R8] Friday Tradition: Every Friday both the mobile app and website are always down. Most deals involving withdrawals and transfers that would normally take place are on hold because of this recurring issue. Perhaps attempting to update any system upgrades overnight would be better.
- [R13] Review specifics for checks and deposits: The app would be much more useful if I could view the images of checks and deposits like I can with Bank of America.
- [R25] Functional, but lacking features.: The app is functional and easy to use, however, it lacks basic features like mobile check deposit. Also, I have several accounts and it does not allow me to see the account names (only #'s). Since I do not have my account numbers memorized, this gets very confusing for me. I really want to give this app a five star, but without these features I believe it only de
- [R9] Face recognition doesn’t work anymore: Face récognitions doesn’t work and I can’t see the message I’m writing.
- [R14] App and online banking: It is not compatible with many of the finance management tools out there such as Quicken. This app/online banking is definitely inferior to some of the bigger banks like Bank of America or TD bank.
