  1. [R7] UCB Banks 1/5 · US Crashes too much.: Can only use the app about half the time.
  2. [R24] UCB Banks 3/5 · US Help: Anyone have a problem with this app crashing on iOS? I’ve re installed it a few times. Still crashes about 90% of the time
  3. [R41] UCB Banks 1/5 · US App will not open: When I try to open the app it immediately crashes. I have deleted and reinstalled the app but for the last week or so it continues to crash.
  4. [R43] UCB Banks 1/5 · US Won’t open: Can u guys update your app so I can open it on my phone it will not open the app I have deleted and reinstalled still won’t work
  5. [R4] UCB Banks 1/5 · US Inaccessible: ( -10 stars ) I’m always struggling to log in, getting the same error message of connection issues. I’ve tried calling support that blames my phone or internet service. I’m an OTR trucker, been all over the 48 states on so many different networks, all other apps never have a VPN or security locking issue; its frustrating having no support when their systems are failing. I left this b
  6. [R13] UCB Banks 1/5 · US Too many error messages: Too many error messages. Cannot get on app often and now double verify?
  7. [R21] UCB Banks 3/5 · US Password bug: For weeks I have found that the first attempt to log in always says the password is incorrect. I’ve turned on the option to view the password as I’m entering it, and the password is the same each time. First attempt, incorrect password. Second attempt, successfully logged in. I assume this started after a recent update. Normally, this is a minor inconvenience, but I’m trying to s
  8. [R25] UCB Banks 1/5 · US New Update: I don’t know what you guys did for the new update, but I shouldn’t have to verify that it’s me EVERY SINGLE time I go to log in. It’s annoying.
  9. [R10] UCB Banks 1/5 · US Frustrating: The new revamp of this app is so slow. I loved the older version of the app, I found it much more user friendly. Current update either doesn’t load or takes forever to load.
  10. [R16] UCB Banks 1/5 · US Pathetic: How exactly has this change been an improvement?? This is the slowest app I've ever used! Web page is even worse!! How is it that as a business, I had to call multiple times and request that all of our accounts appear on the website and on this app, I have multiple accounts but can't see them unless I make a request to do so?? Who does that even make sense to?? Can no longer copy and
  11. [R18] UCB Banks 3/5 · US Not as user friendly: Not as user friendly. My accounts got all mixed up harder to operate and more confusing.
  12. [R19] UCB Banks 1/5 · US Regarding the new “update”: Didn’t have a problem with the previous version, they did an “update” few weeks ago and I think it is terrible now. Thinking about getting rid of it.
  13. [R6] UCB Banks 3/5 · US Very limited: Limited options, it’s not very efficient.
  14. [R9] UCB Banks 3/5 · US Just OK: Basic app. Not as useful as other banks. Views of accounts and actions are a bit more limited. Forced to go to website for further actions.
  15. [R15] UCB Banks 3/5 · US App itself is good, Zelle is BAD: App design is pretty, compact, easy to navigate, and has plenty of support options. HOWEVER, DO NOT USE UCB’s INTEGRATED MONEY-TRANSFER SOFTWARE. This software is titled “Zelle” and it will only cause you pain. Multiple times in the last month I’ve sent money to and received money from my brother with multiple roadblocks. The app will frequently ask you to log in
  16. [R27] UCB Banks 3/5 · US Ok, but...: It’s ok, and I appreciate that UCB continues to invest in upgrading it, but: - there’s a major issue on the Bill Pay feature, causing scheduled payments to be hidden / not listed on either the Scheduled Pmts and as paid from your account for 1-3 days around the payment time (when one would naturally check on a payment). I depend solely on the mobile app for bill payments and have doubl
  17. [R51] FNBT & FCB Mobile 2/5 · US Customer support/ Zelle complicated: The app used to work great, now when I attempt to open the Zelle feature the app closes out immediately. Also when I try to talk to support they will end my conversation in the middle of me typing. This is ridiculous.
  18. [R52] FNBT & FCB Mobile 5/5 · US 👍: Muy buen banco y muy amables los trabajadores
  19. [R54] FNBT & FCB Mobile 1/5 · US Inconvenient: Can’t Zelle most people when I need to. It gives an error. Couldn’t upload check electronically had to use different bank

  21. [R65] ICCU Mobile Banking 1/5 · US Really slow: This app is very slow and I get an error almost every time I try to log in. They keep making changes yet it still continues to be slow.
  22. [R66] ICCU Mobile Banking 5/5 · US Been with them for years: So grateful for Iccu! They’ve been good with us for the 20 years we’ve been with them , even when there has been a few hiccups along the way but they’ve always been on top of things to help us out. We are loyal to them even when there have been a the few hiccups. Other places nickle and dime ya. But have never felt that way with Iccu.
  23. [R68] ICCU Mobile Banking 1/5 · US Always glitches: The app doesn’t let me see anything that’s not the snapshot of my account, it goes to a separate page and loads for a while then says system is not responding, try again later.
  24. [R69] ICCU Mobile Banking 5/5 · US Servicio: Excelente servicio
  25. [R79] United Community Mobile 2/5 · US Spotty performance and no IT support for customers: The website has gone down three times since the move to the new format. Additionally, there are reoccurring errors in my account. After multiple interactions, I was told I had to go into my branch to see if they could fix the errors. I will have to take off work to do this. I am not impressed with this service..
  26. [R80] United Community Mobile 5/5 · US Love it: Easy to used
  27. [R82] United Community Mobile 1/5 · US Thangs I do not Like.: When you change the way all the programming I do for online banking. This really messes with me and I do not and I mean do not like it at all. As far as your banking, you’re perfect and if this program changes, I may make a change also.
  28. [R83] United Community Mobile 5/5 · US Happy Customer: I love this app!! It’s easy to use and navigate. Help is always a click away.
  29. [R93] UBA Mobile Banking 1/5 · US My main account is not showing: My main account balance and number aren’t showing on the dashboard. I have refreshed my app multiple times yet no luck
  30. [R94] UBA Mobile Banking 5/5 · US Good: So nice using UBA app
  31. [R95] UBA Mobile Banking 3/5 · US Card: Why do I always need my card details to longin on a new phone
  32. [R96] UBA Mobile Banking 1/5 · US Rookie app: The most annoying bank app I've ever come across in Nigerian banks. You should really look into it

  37. [R74] ICCU Mobile Banking 5/5 · US Raul: Raul went above and beyond and used creative out of the box thinking to help me. It’s how I hope someone would treat my son if he needed help. It’s how I would have treated someone. You just don’t find that much anymore.
  38. [R76] ICCU Mobile Banking 5/5 · US Equidad!!: Este banco es una maravilla, me siento contento de tener una cuenta aquí, no, no me pagaron; Lo digo desde mi experiencia como latino. La gente es muy amable en todo el sentido de la palabra, a donde quiera que voy hablo maravillas de este banco y de esta app.🙏🏻🙂‍↔️
  39. [R59] FNBT & FCB Mobile 3/5 · US Horario de transferencia: Es una buena app, me funciona bien todo, lo único que no me gusta es que a las 10 pm ya no puedo hacer transferencias y eso siempre me choca porque yo siempre tengo mi dinero en savings y no en checking, así que cuando quiero pasar dinero ya no me deja. Incluso ha pasado cuando apenas son las 9 (ni siquiera las 10pm) y no me deja aunque falte una hora para la hora que ya
  40. [R62] FNBT & FCB Mobile 3/5 · US Review: I would leave a 5 star but the only thing I have issues with is no transferring after 10pm. We had to get a second bank just to be able to transfer.
