- [R4] Bank of America Mobile Banking Very dumb bank app: I have used BOfA for about 15 years, and with digital world BOfA is the least preferred bank for me. Let me start with a poor and useless app design. The app design is a dinosaur, it is comparable to Windows XP, but with much less functionality. You cannot even pay your credit card using button “PAY”, you need to make a transfer from checking to credit. Also, one of the slowest
- [R12] Bank of America Mobile Banking Does not support outbound ACH transfer: The mobile app only supports inbound ACH transfer for linked external accounts but does not support outbound ACH transfer. Have to use the website interface to perform outbound transfer or use the app of the receiving bank. This omission is unthinkable and seems to be unique to BofA among major banks.

- [R13] Bank of America Mobile Banking Blank screen after logging in: I have been experiencing a blank screen when I log into the mobile app in my iPhone 17, running the latest IOS. This has been going on for months. BofA support basically told me to uninstall the app, restart my iPhone and then reinstall the app. I’ve done this multiple times and it works for a while and then back to a blank screen upon logging in. It’s disgraceful fo
