- [R2] Mountain America CU Great App: I love the layout of this app and everything is easy and clear to see unlike other banking apps. And Mountain America credit union is just pretty awesome.
- [R12] Mountain America CU Please consider: I am not happy with the recent update that moved the Bill Pay under the “More” menu. I would much rather have Bill Pay shortcut than the Manage Card shortcut. Besides the app issue, I am happy to be banking with MACU.
- [R14] Mountain America CU Everything i need...: all of my banking and loans at my fingertips. Thank you for an awesome app!
- [R24] Mountain America CU Used to be better: Some of the functionality that used to be available in the app has been taken away over time. For example, I used to be able to add a memo for future and recurring transfers, but I no longer can. Also, transaction details have been removed. For example, withdrawal transfers used to show where the money was transferred to, but they no longer do.
- [R6] Mountain America CU Too many step ups: Please bundle your OTP step ups so that if I am stepped up previously in a session, I am not repeatedly stepped up for everything I do in that session.
- [R13] Mountain America CU Took away profiles: Update made profiles difficult. Not improvement. Thinking of leaving this credit union because of this.
- [R17] Mountain America CU Best Banking App: Easy to use and organized.
- [R1] Mountain America CU App not working: Bank and App are awful, don’t use them!!!!
- [R4] Mountain America CU Can’t view anything: It has been almost 2 months and I haven’t been able to log into any of the accounts. Just a constant error. No attempt to fix the problem. Not a place Im happy with.
- [R10] Mountain America CU Online banking is broken: The online banking system is broken. I can’t see any transactions after June 20, 2026.
- [R11] Mountain America CU Won’t open: I really love this business but every time I try to open the app to see how much money is in the account it says “ request timed out “. Then continues to load. So I never see my money.
- [R3] Mountain America CU Deposits: Most of the time they place a hold on mobile deposit. Apparently all of the fraud even though I’ve had my account for 10 years without any issues. On one I understand they have to combat fraud on the other hand. It’s very difficult because I can’t always get away to make a deposit.
- [R40] Mountain America CU Love it: Beats going in the Bank
- [R41] Mountain America CU .: amazing bank, stupid how often there app doesn’t work. i cant access my money? and they hold checks 🥴
- [R46] Mountain America CU Review: Thank you MACU! For This Mobile app! It makes Banking so much easier!
- [R7] Mountain America CU Beware!!: Do not trust this credit union!! Go elsewhere. I was a customer for years. Everything is great until something goes wrong. Then their colors show!! Their fraud and security processes are inadequate and terrible. Their customer service systems are frustrating and inept.
- [R23] Mountain America CU Best Bank!!: The best banking experience I’ve ever had! Folks are awesome to work with. Everything is easy access! Love them! Thanks!!
- [R26] Mountain America CU Yes 👍: I love the friendly service I receive at Riverto (Jose) and Lupita at Orem. Language doesn't matter since they are bilingual and treat all customers equally. They are very kind, which is why I like them, and also because of the safety of Mountain's service.
- [R27] Mountain America CU Customer Service is bad: We got a car loan through them. When I tried to get my title from them to register it in my home state, they blew off my multiple emails and calls and we were forced to extend the cars temporary registration which isn’t cheap. Horrible service.
- [R19] Mountain America CU System updates: App contents don’t load after the recent system updates. I can login and SOMETIMES it will load my accounts but transfers won’t go through
- [R47] Mountain America CU What happened with the recent update?: What’s up with the phone call verification? That is cumbersome and un useful! My log in experience just tanked and it’s awful to get into the app. I’ve been trying now for several minutes and the phone call verification is too fast to get the numbers. This is awful.
- [R67] My Epic Poor functionality: Add a mileage tracker and a GPS speedometer, add a stay logged in option, I’m sick of having to log back in constantly. Make the facial recognition option actually work. This app is useless. I use a separate ski app because this one is no good.
- [R69] My Epic GPS Tracking: The app is easy to use. The GPS tracking is limited. It does not report your max or average speed. The distance appears to include the lift ride. It also doesn’t track the total time on the hills.
- [R78] My Epic Okay for nav, not great at tracking: Always had high hopes for this app to be better than Ikon but no such luck. Oh well - something to work on. Tracking not so good; often times doesn’t log my distance or location.
- [R93] My Epic Good App: I love the app and it is useful but lately, it wont let me stop the gps tracking. Every other button works except the stop tracking button. I have closed out the app and tried again. I have restarted my phone. At a loss here.
- [R16] Mountain America CU 4 day shut down: Shut down for 4 days, I expect a pristine app experience now. This morning without warning the app is down again
- [R18] Mountain America CU Why?: Every single month I have no access to my finances
- [R25] Mountain America CU System updates: the person(s) who decided that shutting down the online banking system for an entire weekend+ should be fired. I live 2 hours from a branch so I rely on mobile deposits, I also rely on the app to transfer funds in order to Venmo my subcontractors. Thankfully I have another financial institution, which you guys have made me use. Now that my most recent deposits are in that account,
- [R70] My Epic App: Terrible interface. Password doesn’t hold and then takes for forever to verify.
- [R81] My Epic Works but annoying: Does the app developer or Vail marketing even know what skiing is?? Why does the app wipe out my login credentials every two weeks or so?? This is so asinine, my banks don’t even do this. This app is horrible with fingerprint login. And if you can’t remember your password, the app locks you out after a few tries. When the app works it’s fun. When it doesn’t, I want to throw m
- [R85] My Epic Kicked out: If I don't use the app for a week or more it makes you sign back in--- this is an annoying problem with an app that shouldn't be that hard to navigate.
