  1. [R1] Georgia's Own Credit Union 1/5 · US Account Sorting: You used to be able to put your accounts in any order you wanted, based on your own prioritization. The app now forces you to show all savings accounts first and all checking accounts second. I want to be able to see my highest priority accounts first without a forced checking/savings grouping.
  2. [R4] Georgia's Own Credit Union 1/5 · US Reorder Accounts Missing: Where did the reorder accounts on the mobile app go ? I called in and they said the new update is just the way it is. Not very customer focused.
  3. [R15] Georgia's Own Credit Union 3/5 · US Credit card access: There are no details for the credit card I have on file. It would be helpful to review the details of the credit card
  4. [R16] Georgia's Own Credit Union 1/5 · US Could be much better: There’s no way to manage locking and unlocking your card with this main app. The separate card manager app is worthless/non functional and needs to be removed. It never let me past the enrollment screen. Because there’s no easy way to lock your card when you’re not using it I decided to go without one. Also, don’t use a VPN when using the app. I got locked out and had to do f
  5. [R2] Georgia's Own Credit Union 4/5 · US Little slow: It’s a little slow to register money taken and deposited from my checking account, which makes it a little hard to see what’s in my account, but all in all, Union is great ans I’ve used it for years
  6. [R3] Georgia's Own Credit Union 3/5 · US Unable to load content please refresh: Get on every page “unable to load content please refresh page” . This error never goes away and this error keeps from you completing transactions whether it’s a profile update / setting or transaction .
  7. [R5] Georgia's Own Credit Union 5/5 · US Wooooo!: Easy to use, very secure, best banking app I’ve had.
  8. [R7] Georgia's Own Credit Union 2/5 · US What’s wrong with this app???: I’ve used this app for years and never had an issue until recently. Every time i log in it takes 2-4 mins for my balance to appear. Like it’s “loading” forever! I’m trying to see my balance as soon as i log in, this delay is annoying!
  9. [R12] Georgia's Own Credit Union 3/5 · US Login issues: Not able to log in to my account
  10. [R19] Georgia's Own Credit Union 1/5 · US Can’t Access: Today 20Oct2025 was able to access 1x. Returned to confirm posted transactions and the app does not open. Keep receiving “Disclosure not accepted. please refresh and accept the disclosure to sign into the app” when I do as requested only get the circling symbol that after a few seconds returns with the same “quote” as above. Need a solution to resolve. Please advise.
  11. [R25] Georgia's Own Credit Union 1/5 · US Errors: Keep getting errors attempting to load payment page on app
  12. [R14] Georgia's Own Credit Union 5/5 · US Love GA’s Own: This credit union is so helpful! They always credit my account immediately when I deposit checks. When my Social Security check arrives it is immediately credited to my account and I can use that money to pay my bills while some of my friends banks do not allow them access to their money early. When I do go in n Georgia Own they are the friendliest employees ever. They are very nice
  13. [R29] Georgia's Own Credit Union 5/5 · US Best bank in GA: In my opinion it's the best bank in Georgia. I've delt with a few other banks but Georgias own has been the best for my situation and helped me. I'd highly recommend them to others.
  14. [R32] Georgia's Own Credit Union 5/5 · US 5 STARS: If I ever had a problem on has been on top of it all I gotta do is give them a call. I love banking with you guys.

  15. [R34] Georgia's Own Credit Union 1/5 · US Stay away from this Credit Union and their Terrible App: The worst bank/credit union in all of Georgia. First, what a stupid name! Did they fire all of their marketing staff the week they had to come up with a name? It does even make any sense. If you are sucked in and open an account, their fees are OUTRAGEOUS! They make most of their profit from FEES which you will pay! Their Customer Service if
  16. [R42] Georgia's Own Credit Union 3/5 · US It’s very basic: It gets the job done as long as you remain local. When you travel, your account may be deactivated after the first withdrawal. I don’t use it for bill pay. Zelle is needed!

  18. [R65] Heartland Credit Union (WI) 1/5 · US Don’t join if you need Apple Pay: Been over a month and they still haven’t fixed Apple Pay. I need it. If you need it. I would wait to join until they fix the issue. Shouldn’t take this long

  21. [R37] Georgia's Own Credit Union 1/5 · US Bill pay: With some upgrade the bill pay has completely changed. It’s not good at all for mobile user and I have the latest iPhone. The previous views and actions were much much easier. Please see about improvements for mobile view.
  22. [R40] Georgia's Own Credit Union 1/5 · US New bill pay is useless: The new bill bay interface is absolutely horrible. The previous update sucked enough, but this new version makes it impossible to pay bills within the app. Maybe hire someone who actually knows how apps should work, how users actually want to be able to use the app.
