- [R3] PNC Mobile Banking Zelle on Pnc: Pnc only does Zelle on the phone. A very narrow method.
- [R60] PNC Mobile Banking Zelle: Having Zelle only available on mobile is a terrible experience and might be enough for me to move my account elsewhere
- [R62] Discover Mobile Best app: Unfortunately for all other people this card and the app are elite. The app is so beautiful and so smooth to use $ balance transfer promo was unbelievable. Get it now.
- [R66] Discover Mobile Banking Nightmare: There’s no option to pay with a debit card. The only option is through your bank account and they take 10 days sometimes to take the money out. I really with there was a quick pay option. I wouldn’t even care to pay a little extra for it.
- [R6] PNC Mobile Banking Clunky: It gets basic banking done but is cumbersome to use and limited functionality
- [R12] PNC Mobile Banking Only works half the time: When the app works it’s great and intuitive. However, it is temporarily out of service half the time I try an open it. They recently update the app and ever since then, it’s been very unreliable. I’ve actually had to go to the bank more because it’s been so unreliable.
- [R74] Discover Mobile Very good app: It’s fast and furious Navigate very easy. Love it !
- [R110] Discover Mobile Simple and Useful.: This app is very helpful for tracking and it’s nice to talk to a HUMAN BEING when there’s a problem. Capital One better not mess this up.
- [R10] PNC Mobile Banking Was good now bad: This app use to be good but since they added the Face ID login it’s pretty bad, it crashes at some point just about every time you use it.
- [R19] PNC Mobile Banking Hate this app: This app NEVER loads. I haven’t been able to access my account via the app in weeks. Idk if there’s a bug, but I can’t even report it because the app just spins, it won’t login or let me do anything on the login screen.
- [R109] Discover Mobile App not opening for over a week and no update: I tried to pay my bill last week through the app and it wouldn’t open. I assumed there was a bug and needed to update the app, but there was no update. Restarted my phone, tried again, nothing. Today I needed to look at my statement and tried to open the app and had the same problem, not opening and no update! When is this going to be fixed?
- [R82] Discover Mobile Closed and deleted: Beware, unlike Visa and Mastercard, which are accepted cirtually everywhere, many retailers do not take Discover. And the app is down for maintenance so often, you will not ne able to access ypur account several tomes per month.
- [R68] Discover Mobile DISCOVER YOUR LIFE: Using our Discover Card for our shopping excursions, getting gas, and picking up items at the Drug store. We earn cash back which in turn we use our bonus cash to help pay our monthly payment.!!!!
- [R89] Discover Mobile Great card: I love this card! It’s great for cash rewards, had mine 1 year and I have earned a nice amount compared to my other cards! Would highly recommend this card.
- [R42] PNC Mobile Banking Not a good experience: Being migrated from First Bank has been nothing but problems. They are still not resolved after hours on the phone and in branches. Horrible customer service experience
- [R80] Discover Mobile Over 25 years w/ Discover: Great cc company. E have been through a lot and they have seats been professional and helpful for my financial needs. When the mobile platform was introduced it was easy to navigate and made understanding my records simplified. Great company great mobile platform.
- [R118] Discover Mobile Discover Mobile: Exceptionally good
