  1. [R9] NBT Bank 1/5 · US Inefficient: Not user friendly. Lacking a lot of the amenities other banking apps have. Overall dissatisfied with the platform
  2. [R15] NBT Bank 1/5 · US Worst App Ever: Compared to other bank apps where you can pay your loan, NBT is the hardest to navigate and use. Thank god I’m young and was born into technology. If you’re not good with technology do NOT go through NBT.
  3. [R21] NBT Bank 1/5 · US Using Zelle is terrible in the app.: Every single time i try to make a transaction on zelle it always tells me it failed. So embarrassing when you have to pay someone and it keeps telling you it failed. And the app is so outdated and slow.
  4. [R25] NBT Bank 2/5 · US Car loan: Not user friendly like other apps for car loans I’ve used. Doesn’t offer you the option to just pay your month balance, you have to look it up every time to make sure it’s the correct amount. Unable to schedule transfers after 4. Not a user friendly interface at all.
  5. [R1] NBT Bank 1/5 · US App & Website Not User Friendly: Both the app and website are so hard to navigate, at least on a cell phone, compared to other banks I use.

Can’t even look at statements on the app. Doesn’t provide much details in the app. App looks like it’s from 2010. Hire some better programmers or something.
  12. [R2] NBT Bank 5/5 · US Buy the bank: The app has saved my buttocks so many times. Living pay to pay, no cushion.
