  9. [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.
  10. [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
  11. [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.
  12. [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
  13. [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.
  14. [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.
  15. [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.
  16. [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
  17. [R12] UCCU Mobile 3/5 · US Needs ability to set up automatic payments for car loan and ability to pay principal in app: I love UCCU, but the app needs improvements. 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.
  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. [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
  20. [R32] UCCU Mobile 1/5 · US Never Opens: I’d say 1/10 times I try to Open this app it will actually open. Otherwise it just sits and spins at the logon screen. The website works just fine so this app needs some serious maintenance and QOL attention. Fix your app.
  21. [R44] UCCU Mobile 2/5 · US App is so slow: This app take forever to load. Horrible.
  22. [R75] Hudson Valley CU Mobile 3/5 · US No names of merchants: What did you do. There’s no names to see on debit purchases of who the places are. Omg!! How are we supposed to verify them if it doesn’t say what place it was done at. Now it says “debit card signature” but no name of where. Why would you do this.. we need to know where/who. This is enough to make us change our banking place and close our accounts.. we love it here but this
  23. [R87] Hudson Valley CU Mobile 1/5 · US What happened!!: Why did you remove the names of the merchants from the debit purchases? Now I have no idea who the merchant was! Also, deposits are no longer in green to easily determine debits and credits. Please return these basic features. Without them, the app is as good as useless. I may need to remove all of my accounts as a result!!
  24. [R95] Hudson Valley CU Mobile 1/5 · US Awful app: This latest update is awful. Bill pay is cumbersome and difficult to use. Just overall not user friendly.
  25. [R103] Hudson Valley CU Mobile 1/5 · US Horrible update: The update is so frustratingly unhelpful. Firstly, it does not provide balances including pending. This makes it difficult to calculate my expenses. I had to partially balance my checkbook for the first time in decades. I can add, but why the step back? I can also no longer review details of my income to know when it will become available. This is a major inconvenience, and almost
  26. [R61] Hudson Valley CU Mobile 1/5 · US Crazy: I don’t go in the app for one week and it logged me out. I can’t log back in and I’ve called multiple times and nobody wants to answer
  27. [R69] Hudson Valley CU Mobile 3/5 · US Logs me out 90% of the time: This app is usually pretty good, but for the past few months it does this annoying thing where you log in, start navigating a bit, and within 5 seconds it logs you out forcing you to re-log back in. Then, after that it works fine. But, it happens 9 out of 10 times. It’s super frustrating to say the least.
  28. [R79] Hudson Valley CU Mobile 1/5 · US Constantly Locking Me Out: The app is always having issues with login and I used facial recognition. It would be less of a problem if they had any kind of customer service but trying to contact the bank makes me want to close my account.
  29. [R82] Hudson Valley CU Mobile 1/5 · US App issues: Every time I try to use the app it has me sign in. That sucks…
