  1. [R3] CEFCU Mobile Banking 3/5 · US It ain’t the best: Slow moving with long transfer times to external accounts. Not sure why Zelle or something is not offered either. Overall it’s not as bad as it used to be but it’s not as good as some.
  2. [R4] CEFCU Mobile Banking 2/5 · US Doesn’t show current balance!: Fairly decent app, the thing I don’t like about it is that you have to figure out the balance in your account as the “pending”transactions are not deducted from your display balance! IAA Credit Union has an incredible app and does this for me which is so much more convenient! I don’t know why they ask to rate the app again and again when nothing changes with the app.
  3. [R9] CEFCU Mobile Banking 3/5 · US Mobile Deposit: Mobile Deposit rarely works.
  4. [R13] CEFCU Mobile Banking 1/5 · US Needs updating: The functionality of this app is limited. You should be able to see your true current balance at all times. Yet it takes 2-3 business days for transactions to post before it updates. If I do a withdrawal on the weekend, my account balance should reflect that.
  5. [R1] CEFCU Mobile Banking 1/5 · US Boo: Liked the old style better. Having to refresh the accounts page every time is a hassle.
  6. [R5] CEFCU Mobile Banking 5/5 · US So easy and convenient: Awesome crfcu app
  7. [R7] CEFCU Mobile Banking 1/5 · US Horrible: Probably the worst user interface of any mobile banking app I’ve ever seen.
  8. [R14] CEFCU Mobile Banking 5/5 · US CEFCU app: Easy to find what you need.

  12. [R28] CEFCU Mobile Banking 4/5 · US CEFCU app: The CEFCU app is available for use night and day. You can review your transactions daily. The appis handy to have. The budget tools are helpful but takes a little trial and error to learn how to manage them.
  13. [R11] CEFCU Mobile Banking 4/5 · US Fraud alert: Setting fraud alert at high levels without advising the customer is an embarrassing practice. My credit card is constantly blocked for what is called suspicious activity when I am out and about in my community I am constantly calling fraud department to advise them of attempts I make to purchase items. I have been with Cefcu for almost a decade I would give you 5 star but unable to du
  14. [R16] CEFCU Mobile Banking 1/5 · US Terrible app: There are way to many issues with this app including accessibility, balances not accurate , with draws missing. I’ve even had it showing it was gonna withdraw a loan payment two weeks in a row which I sent a message . No this has been a terrible experience so much so I’m gonna leave the credit union once loan is payed off
  15. [R20] CEFCU Mobile Banking 5/5 · US Trustworthy: They stand’ed by my side since day one when I opened up my accounts. Thank you great staff of CEFCU Family may you and your family be blessed and stay safe plus healthy. Daniele M Pounds 12/31/2024!! 2025 Here we come$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

  17. [R27] CEFCU Mobile Banking 2/5 · US Pending spending: I can’t stand that my card will decline due to insufficient funds due to slow processing of prior purchases. It will show me I have X amount of money but I actually don’t. This is a problem for my friends who are users of the app as well

  19. [R87] RBFCU 3/5 · US App is great. Missing one feature: When are you going to add Zelle. This is the only missing feature needed. I hope it is soon.
  20. [R19] CEFCU Mobile Banking 2/5 · US Very good: I’ve used this app for years with no issues whatsoever until lately. I have tried to deposit a check on the app and the check has a preprinted message for mobile deposit. I checked the box for mobile deposit and submitted the check via the app. It has been rejected 3 times stating the check is not marked for mobile deposit.
  21. [R70] RBFCU 2/5 · US App crash: My app crashes every week to two weeks
  22. [R73] RBFCU 1/5 · US Very Buggy: Can’t make mobile deposits without continually crashing

  24. [R104] RBFCU 4/5 · US Freezes up: The app is pretty good but has a couple of issues that need fixing. It will freeze up and the only way I have access to it again is to delete the app from my phone, then reinstall it. Most of the time it works for a while but soon it happens again. Frustrating!
