  1. [R1] Meritrust Business 2/5 · US Delayed alert notifications: Hoping the new app would send us immediate text alerts when our card is used, not so much. Disappointing.
  2. [R6] Meritrust Business 3/5 · US Mobile deposit: Mobile deposit won’t work. Can’t deposit my check.
  3. [R17] Meritrust Business 4/5 · US New Update: This app used to be fabulous! As of lately it has been an absolute pain to make mobile deposits. The app wants you to rotate your phone but when I do I have to do it several times to get it to work. I hope they fix the bug!
  4. [R61] Bark for Professionals 1/5 · US Nearly Phished, Denied a Refund, Locked Out of My Account: Update (July 2026): After Bark publicly responded to this review asking me to contact support, I reached out again in good faith, believing my case would receive a fresh review. My initial response was AI-generated and requested information from a case that had already been reviewed. After providing the requested details, Bark reaffirmed i
  5. [R8] Meritrust Business 4/5 · US Love CU, Hate App: I love the credit union. I enjoy using the ITMs, I enjoy going into “my” branch, and I have had a excellent membership experience overall. I can’t stand the app. I’ve waited too long to post this review because I keep hearing that a new app is coming. It’s still not hear. My biggest issue with this app is how difficult it is to make an external transfer. First they hide the op
  6. [R11] Meritrust Business 4/5 · US app is really good: i like the app but the interface could be improved slightly (looks)
  7. [R18] Meritrust Business 3/5 · US Slow but convenient: The app is slow most of the time even when I have wifi or full bars. But it is really convenient to deposit my pay checks via the photo since my job doesn't have direct deposit. Definitely faster than driving to the branch though
  8. [R66] Bark for Professionals 3/5 · US UI issues: Please don’t force me to do an update when I’m clicking on a push notification to follow a lead. That is so frustrating when often times being the first to call a potential lead changes whether or not I’ll get the job.
  9. [R52] Meritrust Business 1/5 · US Really 3.5 star- poor Alerts timing: Overall I like the app alot, however my biggest irritation is the timing of the account Alerts. Many times I get my “large withdrawal alert” a very, very long time after the withdrawal occurs. I also don’t understand why some transactions that have already occurred in store show as “pending” and have not withdrawn yet. It seems logical to me that if a large
  10. [R58] Meritrust Business 1/5 · US App and the sight are not working. I can’t log in it’s so frustrating says it’s has an error: Need to get the app and the sight fixed it keeps saying can’t display with an error. Please work on this I have not been able to access my account since opening it
  11. [R40] Meritrust Business 1/5 · US Was great..: Been using this for years, it did everything I needed and did it very well! I’m not sure when it started but it’s been long enough for me to fed up and write this review. This app is either being updated or always loading. It still performs the functionally I need, but at a turtles pace. I set a block of time aside when I want to check account details. If it’s the weekend, I can rest
  12. [R57] Meritrust Business 5/5 · US Best bank in Kansas: No mysterious (maintenance) fees, card holds are taken care of quickly so you know what your bottom dollar is regularly, you can make cash deposits with their eATMs, you can make a withdraw at their eATMs for any amount in dollars, you don’t have to change your password all the time like I have to at my secondary bank which shall remain nameless and you can replace your stolen
  13. [R84] Bark for Professionals 3/5 · US Not worth the price: Have been using this app for catering leads for several months and have gotten responses from two out of the 50 leads I purchased and they stopped responding after the first contact. The price for credits is insane and truly not worth it. Plus every time you purchase credits you also get charged international fees. This App may be good for companies that are already establishe
  14. [R96] Bark for Professionals 3/5 · GB Sort of gone down hill: This app was brilliant when I first started using it but I think as they started getting more popular it started to get a lot more expensive and gone down hill
  15. [R114] Bark for Professionals 1/5 · US Way over priced: Bark has become way overpriced, and it dosnt help when 4/5 leads never respond and there is no way to get money back on those leads.
  16. [R29] Meritrust Business 5/5 · US Service: I love Meritrust and their great customer service and all the services offered. Old school customer service the way it should be.. Thanks Meritrust!!
  17. [R32] Meritrust Business 5/5 · US Service Given: I would like to truly thank Charlene of the Meritrust CU Lawrence, Ks location. Charlene has not stopped checking on me inquiring of any help possible Meritrust CU can offer. Charlene has reached out to college Ashley in the Credit repair assistant department of the Meritrust CU Wichita, Ks location. Ashley called and suggested setting up a phone consultation for steps to the path o
  18. [R38] Meritrust Business 1/5 · US Unfriendly: Giving my balances and faqs isnt mobile banking. The USAA app lets me start accounts, update PINs, explore other services and get information with 24/7 support. Having Meritrust is terrible the support pages all lead to contacting them and you can only contact them during bank hours so it truly kills the online experience they don’t understand.
  19. [R67] Bark for Professionals 1/5 · US Made me download the app to delete my account: Never used the app, set up everything on desktop. Didn’t like that you have to pay for credits for the potential of lead / gigs. Sent a support email to delete account and they told me it had to be the app. When I told them I didn’t use the app and asked them to delete my account on their end they didn’t help just asked if I needed help. 🤷‍♂️
