- [R4] Zions Bank Mobile Banking Sucks: Absolutely sucks. 60% of the time is says “cannot connext try again later” stupid app
- [R7] Zions Bank Mobile Banking Doesn't even work: I'm not sure when, but this app doesn't even load fully anymore, it just gives me an error code 1003. And I'm not calling a help number to get the app to work, the app should just work.
- [R9] Zions Bank Mobile Banking Please fix: When the app does load it works great and I can move money around very quickly but the problem is that the app will never load anymore and always has either a 1002 code or a 1003 code no matter where I am and how good my service is
- [R18] Zions Bank Mobile Banking Error Code 1002: This newer version every 2nd day that i open the app it says eror code 1002.
- [R5] Zions Bank Mobile Banking Mobile banking: Check deposit made easy
- [R8] Zions Bank Mobile Banking Fix your check options: Good app, but man it's a pain to dipost a check. I'll be there for 30 mins trying to wait for it to allow me to hit next. It doesn't tell me if the picture is wrong or if there's an error. But I would say this feature does suck. Please fix it
- [R16] Zions Bank Mobile Banking App isn’t good: App used to be super great and user friendly. Since it was updated in October customers can’t go in and do things on their own. Example is the rewards. Previous you could go in and get the rewards on your own. Now if you click the rewards button it won’t take you anywhere. Why can’t this app actually be updated to work decent for customers?
- [R17] Zions Bank Mobile Banking Easy: So easy and convenient make a deposit right from your home
- [R2] Zions Bank Mobile Banking Delayed Messages/accurate Notification Updates: While I really love the app and being a member? I quite often am annoyed with the fact that I don’t get accurate updates on balances- I’m always being delivered the former days news. If I want to confirm my balance I have to actually open my app.. kinda defeats the purpose of notifications. I need accurate information and prompt notifications.
- [R6] Zions Bank Mobile Banking New format is a downgrade: Since the new format was launched now when I check my accounts all I can see are the #’s and barely any of the transaction details. Very frustrating. App is updated. I only use the phone app. The old format was great. Been a customer since the 90’s. Hope they can upgrade us back to a more convenient format soon. Love Zions Bank.
- [R11] Zions Bank Mobile Banking Bill pay’s deducted sooner: I wish the Bill pay item’s would be deducted from balance sooner.
- [R12] Zions Bank Mobile Banking New Update ruined it: App was great for years but has been declining. Transactions don’t show up very quickly anymore. MFA requires too many “clicks”.
- [R3] Zions Bank Mobile Banking balderdash!: the nightly maintenance and vpn login denial have gotten annoyingly old. deal with them or face a shrinking customer base.
- [R15] Zions Bank Mobile Banking If You Travel - Beware !: There are several challenges in using the app when you travel “away from home” . . . Be advised of your lack of ability to complete critical transactions 😳
- [R19] Zions Bank Mobile Banking No VPN compatibility: Isn’t compatible when using VPN. Terrible for security risk.
- [R27] Zions Bank Mobile Banking Poor customer assistance: I called our local branch. They were professional and courteous but had no insight into the app. They gave me the customer service number. I waited to get through for twenty minutes. The woman was rude and gave me the, “Did you try updating it” solution which solved nothing. Turning phone off then back on, my solution, did the trick.
- [R36] Zions Bank Mobile Banking Good app but needs Face ID to login.: Good app but needs Face ID to login.
- [R51] Zions Bank Mobile Banking Fix Face ID Feature: I love this app, but every time I try to login using Face ID, it says “An error occurred while trying to login using biometric data” so I have to type in my password. Very annoying.
- [R59] Zions Bank Mobile Banking No Good: Limitaciones en zelle. No cae le pago del trabajo al día siguiente.
- [R68] Woodforest Mobile Banking 2026: The app is good. The bank works, but it’s 2026, it’s time to start accepting Zelle and Venmo (instant) transactions.
- [R28] Zions Bank Mobile Banking Mobile Deposit: The Mobile deposit is difficult to use compared to the other banks we use.
- [R37] Zions Bank Mobile Banking Unreliable mobile upload: Regularly have issues trying to upload checks. Take compliant pictures, fill in the boxes, but it doesn’t allow the option to click the next button. The app doesn’t feel stable. Especially because there are so few Zion banks across the country the mobile upload is a dealbreaker.
- [R42] Zions Bank Mobile Banking Mobile deposit: Mobile deposit was simple, now there is this auto check capture feature that is ultra sensitive. It refuses to work and after it finally times out, it gives the option to manually capture. That works just fine, but takes forever to get to that point. Overall I love the app, this feature however, struck out!
- [R30] Zions Bank Mobile Banking Used to be better: Half the time I can’t see my rolling transaction history. I can only see the overall amount in each account with no details. Very frustrating. Check deposit and transfer funds work easy enough though. Bank’s interest rates are garbage unfortunately so not enough inventive to stick with it.
