- [R8] Redstone Federal Credit Union Easy: It’s a great app and easy to use
- [R11] Redstone Federal Credit Union Great bank: Love the app. Everything is easy to access. Been with you 17 years. Won’t trade for nothing.
- [R12] Redstone Federal Credit Union Won’t even open: Every few weeks I’ll tap the app to check my account and it just won’t open. Like won’t even take me to the login screen. Each time I have to delete the app, redownload it, and hope I remember my password. It’s ridiculous and needs to be fixed. However when the app will open it’s very handy for moving money around.
- [R18] Redstone Federal Credit Union Do not like the update: The update is not user friendly
- [R10] Redstone Federal Credit Union CHECK DEPOSIT FEATURE: This app has absolutely the WORST check deposit feature I’ve ever used. I’ve complained I’ve reviewed others have done the same with no changes or responses . It shouldn’t take 45 freaking minutes to take a picture for the deposit. FIX IT ITS NOT THAT HARD
- [R15] Redstone Federal Credit Union Great bank, not the best app: I have several accounts with six or so banks, and this is the only one that seems to have these issues. The specific things that irritate me about this app: when I want to pay my credit card bill, every other bank offers me a selection of “minimum, current balance, statement balance, or custom.” Every one. Redstone, however, only allows “minimum,” and if you erase
- [R31] Redstone Federal Credit Union Don’t have access to bank statements and correspondence.: For the past years I get announcements of bank statements and letter that I cannot access on the app. I tried with IT agents and up to this date I haven’t received a solution to lack of access.
- [R33] Redstone Federal Credit Union Meh: Literally every other banking app is faster, has a better UI, and is more functional. This one does show correct balances and processes transfers and payments ok. However right now it’s balking at check deposit saying MICR number not visible (it clearly is, I have done every single troubleshooting step). Yall really should have this figured out by now.
- [R4] Redstone Federal Credit Union I don’t like RFCU: The app use to be so much better, this new update is not good. I don’t like how Redstone puts holds on random checks either. I’ve had a lot of problems with them blocking online Transactions for fraud. I haven’t been able to purchase online in months. No matter the store. I appreciate the effort but it’s too much. Redstone overall is not good but thats who my family has always u
- [R9] Redstone Federal Credit Union Is it really that good?: No Redstone is not. They use some dumb 3rd party for security and authentication. Literally harassing you about every single one of your payments. If I didn’t report it don’t bother me! Then after calling you multiple times a day from Omaha they’ll lock your card just to be petty! Extremely unprofessional and trust breaking.
- [R22] Redstone Federal Credit Union App isn’t great and neither is the bank: The app changes and updates on a regular basis but they normally add things that normally don’t help much, but just adds more complexity and confusion to an already overcluttered app. The bank has the worst fraud problem with debit cards that I have ever dealt with, everyone in this area who uses them knows it, and the bank continues to deny this. App does
- [R28] Redstone Federal Credit Union Take your money somewhere else!: My debit card got hacked and they told me that I made that purchase and it wasn’t hacked. The purchase was made in HongKong they literally said I made it lol.
- [R6] Redstone Federal Credit Union Not happy that they wouldn’t refund $100 in fees or a mobile deposit that didn’t go through: Not happy that they charged me seven $25 fees because a mobile deposit did not go through. Would only refund three of them costing me $100. I’m not happy.
- [R26] Redstone Federal Credit Union Amazing: They are always willing to help with any issue and correct it at once.
- [R47] Redstone Federal Credit Union Don't join for the promotion.: They still haven't given me my $600 from my promotion and I have contacted them multiple times trying to get it but they keep ignoring the issue for some reason.
- [R1] Redstone Federal Credit Union Redfcu app has sent me the same review prompt for nearly 2 months.: This is my review in hopes the prompt finally goes away.
- [R13] Redstone Federal Credit Union Asking me to rate every time I log on is annoying: One star every time till this stops
- [R16] Redstone Federal Credit Union Stop asking: I would give 5 stars, but every single time I open this app it asks me for a review. So, fix that and it would be a 5/5, for the annoyance of it, 1/5.
- [R27] Redstone Federal Credit Union Feed Messages: With this release you’re constantly being told to update your operating system and their app. Regardless of you being on the latest version of both, it’s annoying and it’s intrusive.
- [R19] Redstone Federal Credit Union Slow: SLOW
- [R55] Redstone Federal Credit Union This is not it: New update is so slow. It should not take as long as it does for the app to open up. EDIT: The issues still have not been resolved. Needs to be fixed.
- [R61] CommunityAmerica Credit Union Too many bugs: Last update required to login multiple times. The current app won’t open the keyboard. This app is clunky and never smooth.
- [R45] Redstone Federal Credit Union The worst for mobile deposits: Trying to deposit a check on Redstone’s app is the most insufferable experience you could ever hope for. I have multiple banking apps and the others are simple and quick… not so with RFCU. You’ll lose 20 minutes over your life for every check.
- [R118] CommunityAmerica Credit Union Worst Mobile Deposit Ever!!: This is the most glitchy, unreliable, unstable platform on the face of tech! It should be scrapped and replaced immediately!!
- [R37] Redstone Federal Credit Union Annoying: Every time I open this app, it asks for a review. Every time, I’m giving 1 star for the aggravation.
