Needs ability to set up automatic payments for car loan and ability to pay towards principal in app. Not as user friendly as the Toyota Financial app. Please look at the Toyota financial app for design and user-friendly improvements.

  8. [R14] UCCU Mobile 5/5 · US Easy to use!: Convenient and quick.
  9. [R3] UCCU Mobile 3/5 · US Needs improvement: Constant errors and difficulties
  10. [R6] UCCU Mobile 3/5 · US Buggy: The app has bugs. Sometimes it scans my face twice. Sometimes my bank accounts don’t show up when I need to transfer money. Overall it’s not reliable and it’s a gamble if it will work each time.
  11. [R9] UCCU Mobile 3/5 · US Love UCCU... Not their app: I've banked with UCCU for more than a decade. I have never had any complaints or issues and have loved being a member. However, this app is so annoying to use. It takes FOREVER just to get into the app. It doesn't matter if I'm using wifi or my cellular data. I login and sit watching the loading circle for SO long before it opens. I usually have to swipe up on the app a
  12. [R10] UCCU Mobile 1/5 · US Very very bad: The biggest thing anyone would want to use a mobile banking app for is to transfer money. This app is absolutely terrible at transfers. It won’t load properly, doesn’t scroll without bringing the whole page with you and is all around a pretty bad app. We have considered switching banks because of how bad the app is.
  13. [R11] UCCU Mobile 5/5 · US Joseph Willingham: I love the app! UCCU IS THE by far BEST financial institution we have ever dealt with !🕊😊👌🏻 🕊😊 UCCU is still the best! Still loving it 👌🏻 Awesome 😇 We are thankful to God and UCCU for our New Motor Home! Thank you! Still super!🕊👌🏻 Still love it!🕊👍 UCCU is still the most awesome financial institution I’ve ever dealt with by far!🙏🕊🤍New we must have written years ago and failed sen
  14. [R17] UCCU Mobile 5/5 · US So personal and professional: I recently had some unauthorized activity and went to our local branch and was so impressed.
  15. [R22] UCCU Mobile 1/5 · US Sketchy: They don’t honor their sign-up bonuses. Customer support will tell you they’re going to call you back and then never actually do it.
  16. [R26] UCCU Mobile 1/5 · US Poorly designed with bad UX: I love the in-branch experience. Amazing service, friendly and helpful people! But your app is poorly designed, and the experience is terrible. I’d switch all of my banking to UCCU but the app sucks so bad that I can’t do it. Most of my banking is done on my phone, so because the app is terrible I can’t make the switch.
  17. [R40] UCCU Mobile 1/5 · US Buggy as can be: Almost every time that you try to message customer service in the app, it gives an error and won’t work. Reboot the app? Still doesn’t work. Install and reinstall? Nope. Will it randomly work after trying 10 times throughout the day, sometimes
  18. [R42] UCCU Mobile 2/5 · US Auto-pay credit cards: Essentially every other major bank has a feature on their app to auto-pay a minimum payment on their credit cards. And/or a scheduled amount. I’d really like to see that feature added.
  19. [R64] CEFCU Mobile Banking 2/5 · US Doesn’t show current balance!: Fairly decent app, the thing I don’t like about it is that you have to figure out the balance in your account as the “pending”transactions are not deducted from your display balance! IAA Credit Union has an incredible app and does this for me which is so much more convenient! I don’t know why they ask to rate the app again and again when nothing changes with the app.
  20. [R66] CEFCU Mobile Banking 3/5 · US Nah: Decent app but I wish it would update faster when you pull money out of account.
  21. [R73] CEFCU Mobile Banking 1/5 · US Needs updating: The functionality of this app is limited. You should be able to see your true current balance at all times. Yet it takes 2-3 business days for transactions to post before it updates. If I do a withdrawal on the weekend, my account balance should reflect that.
  22. [R87] CEFCU Mobile Banking 2/5 · US Pending spending: I can’t stand that my card will decline due to insufficient funds due to slow processing of prior purchases. It will show me I have X amount of money but I actually don’t. This is a problem for my friends who are users of the app as well
  23. [R15] UCCU Mobile 3/5 · US Great until it’s not?: I have had this app for a little under a year. And have been very pleased with the way it works. This is a perfect place to store money and make sure you’ve got enough money in each account. However, I have run into a consistent issue where the app refuses to open, it stays on the loading screen for longer than 10 minutes. I frequently have to open and close the app several
