  1. [R16] Navy Federal Credit Union 1/5 · US Issue with savings goal: I have money in my savings goal, but when I try to make a transfer it’s saying that I have $0.00 in my savings goal account. Needs to be fixed asap!
  2. [R18] Navy Federal Credit Union 3/5 · US Good but could be great…: First let me say, I love my navy federal app. It’s easy to use, information is clear and I generally just like the interface, but there needs to be better strides in customization and options for editing accounts. One of my biggest gripes is the new “my savings goals” advertised as an easy way to save money and create savings groups for things you want. In theory this is
  3. [R20] Navy Federal Credit Union 4/5 · US Great updates: Always been a pretty easy app to use, but they recently updated how they show and handle credit card points and they really made it magnitudes better. Still not perfect, but way better than before. A few notes: NFCU, now all I want is to not have to press a button to sign it when I open the app. Pleeeaaaseee. Just start the FaceID scanning automatically for a seamless sign in, all
  4. [R21] Navy Federal Credit Union 3/5 · US Travel site glitchy: I have been trying to search for hotels for the past few weeks through the credit card rewards site accessible through the mobile app. When choosing a hotel, I can select my destination, but when I go to select the dates, there is no button to confirm/continue once I’ve selected my check out date. There is only the back button which doesn’t save my selection to move forward. D
  5. [R2] Navy Federal Credit Union 4/5 · US Love NFCU: I generally have no complaints about NFCU, but recently, I am finding it difficult to look at my certificate details. I hit the arrow to expand that section. Sometimes it immediately closes back up, sometimes it lets me scroll down for a second or two before it closes back up.
  6. [R6] Navy Federal Credit Union 3/5 · US Good FI / App is buggy and Core system needs completion of real time upgrade desperately: Can you please fix the switch user feature? It is very unreliable and frequently gets in to a state when switching that leaves the app broken and the only way to fix is to log out and back in again. It will report “We are having trouble displaying your information upon switching. Please try again.” The only
  7. [R7] Navy Federal Credit Union 1/5 · US Locks ups: Login still slow and app still locks up after login just like last update on iPhone. Unusable again. I have to use the old app on my iPad that I have not updated. And I have reset and test every change allowable both on phone and router. The last resort is to delete app and install from scratch. Sucks to do that.
  8. [R8] Navy Federal Credit Union 4/5 · US Recent issues: I’ve been experiencing issues with the app freezing up anytime I attempt to set cardholder limits or Freeze/Unfreeze another users credit card. This issues also sometimes occurs when checking upcoming transactions. Otherwise it’s a great app.
  9. [R5] Navy Federal Credit Union 5/5 · US Best of All: You won’t find better than NFCU, period.
  10. [R14] Navy Federal Credit Union 5/5 · US BEST BANK & APP EVER: I literally don’t care what anyone says.. I’ve tried every bank even fintech banks but nothing comes close to Navy Federal! The best bank and app all in one! I will be with NFCU for life ❤️
  11. [R52] Navy Federal Credit Union 1/5 · US Great Rates, HORRIBLE SERVICE: My friends in the military were definitely right; Navy Fed has better rates but HORRIBLE customer service/response times. Took 4 weeks to apply to become a member with a 740 credit score. Took several days of non responses for my mortgage application to finally get some answers. Their platinum credit card is a great starting card. But the person I applied with had ze
  12. [R64] Wells Fargo Mobile® 1/5 · US Avoid: They will charge you INSANE interest rates on your credit card. Almost better to get a payday loan. Ridiculous way to screw your customers.
  13. [R1] Navy Federal Credit Union 1/5 · US Customer service: I had an urge matter I needed answering and instead of answering navy reader customer support made me wait hours and didn’t even answer as well as the instagram navy federal had answered faster then the actual company.
  14. [R3] Navy Federal Credit Union 3/5 · US Maintenance and 24/7 help: If they have maintenance York screwed. a random charge you know comes through and you don’t call them they block your card then when you do try to call them about it they don’t answer the line and sit around chat up their buddies, 24/7 help is a joke. Wake up and do your job.
  15. [R12] Navy Federal Credit Union 3/5 · US Generally good, but doesn’t give any heads up: They don’t give a heads up about when you’re going to get payed; even if you served, you need to have savings for whenever holidays roll around. Because there are no warnings or heads up or anything; until the day of!! I don’t see myself changing banks(because I don’t personally have options), but fair warning, they won’t warn you; so definitely inve
  16. [R10] Navy Federal Credit Union 1/5 · US The stupid app never loads: App updated, phone updated, phone restarted, and it still won’t load. Software devs should be lined up and executed.
  17. [R19] Navy Federal Credit Union 1/5 · US Can’t make credit card payment: I have been trying to pay my credit card bill and the app continuously says it is experiencing an error.
  18. [R25] Navy Federal Credit Union 1/5 · US App not working: It has been a few days that the app has not been working. Once I open it, it just stays on the opening screen. I deleted and reinstalled the app and no change.
  19. [R65] Wells Fargo Mobile® 5/5 · US I love Zell: I’m a baby boomer and Zell has saved me on so many occasions. It is easy to use and never gives me any problems! It terrific!!
  20. [R67] Wells Fargo Mobile® 2/5 · US Zelle: The zelle limits are ridiculous and should be increased.
  21. [R88] Wells Fargo Mobile® 1/5 · US Technical issues: App seems to have technical issues, especially when Zelle is involved.
  22. [R109] Wells Fargo Mobile® 5/5 · US Satisfied: Love the app and the Zelle side of it as well easy transfers to wife and kids without a zillion little fees
  23. [R58] Navy Federal Credit Union 2/5 · US Navy Federal won’t warn their customers: I received a phone call from the Navy Federal 24hr phone number. They’ll tell you there’s fraudulent activity & give you directions. Once you follow those directions your money in your account will be removed. When I called Navy Federal I was told they know this is happening! However they don’t feel the need to warn their customers about this fraudulent iss
