    Worth paying if

    N/A, as there are no paid features or in-app purchases.

    Skip / stay free if

    You should skip using the UCB Banks app if you require a stable and reliable banking application, as many recent reviews indicate frequent crashes, login errors, and general unreliability R23R33R36R38. Also, if you need advanced features like adding notes to transfers or editing payees directly in the app, you may find it too limited .

    Evidence note: The app is free, so there are no price complaints. Many positive reviews praise the bank's customer service and in-person experience, which are not directly related to the app's value but contribute to the overall brand perception. Recent reviews are heavily skewed negative, focusing on app functionality issues after updates, contrasting with the high lifetime rating.

    1. [R1] 5/5 · US UCB online: I use the online system all the time , whether to pay my bills or transfer money from one acct to another and it’s very easy to navigate UCB’s online system. If I have to go to the bank all the employees from the tellers to the bankers are all extremely nice and helpful!!UCB is an excellent bank.
    2. [R6] 5/5 · US Makes life a little easier: This app has saved us so much money over the years! It’s an easy way to keep track of our accounts and sends me a text message if an account gets below a certain amount, thus saving me from getting an overdraft or automatic transfer. And I can make transfers between accounts or pay extra on a loan any time of the day or night.

    8. [R24] 5/5 · US Banking App: It is nice to be able to track all of my banking on this app. I have a fear of checks bouncing. So by being able to check my accounts more than once a day or having to get a computer to check or to call, makes thing so much easier and stress free for me.

    12. [R11] 5/5 · US Very User Friendly!: Easy to use app. Quickly updates balances on all accounts. Zelle is such a useful feature between my wife and I!
    13. [R23] 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
    14. [R33] 1/5 · US Crashes too much.: Can only use the app about half the time.
    15. [R36] 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.
    16. [R38] 1/5 · US Too many error messages: Too many error messages. Cannot get on app often and now double verify?
    17. [R41] 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
    18. [R45] 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.
    19. [R47] 1/5 · US Update: The most recent update makes it harder to read the transactions and what they go to. And it's harder to navigate. I thought updates were supposed to be improvements? This update is HORRIBLE!! Fix the update!!
