  2. [R9] Apple Federal Credit Union 3/5 · US Modernize: This app could be 100% much better than what it currently is. To me this app feels behind the times. It seems like this app would have been just OK the way it is now about 5 years ago. Come on APPLE FCU let's catch up please!

  20. [R24] Apple Federal Credit Union 1/5 · US Just Awful: Bank at your own risk! The technology at this bank is seriously lacking. The app isn't an app, its a dashboard for their website, which also barely works. Zelle never works. Customer service is only available during business hours. If you want to dispute a transaction you have to print a form and hand deliver it to the branch. They process transactions when THEY want not when you swipe
