  1. [R1] NYMCU Mobile Banking 2/5 · US Zelle: The Zelle process is tedious and requires some serious updating
  2. [R3] NYMCU Mobile Banking 3/5 · US MCU App Review: Convenient Banking with a Need for Budgeting Features: I’ve had a good experience using the MCU app overall. I like how easy it is to check my balances, transfer money between accounts, and deposit checks from my phone. The app is simple and convenient for everyday banking. One feature I’d love to see added is a built-in budgeting section. It would be helpful if the app automatica
  3. [R11] NYMCU Mobile Banking 4/5 · US Using Zelle/ transfer: My Zelle often does not work. Also my Sister and I live in two different states both with MCU accounts unable to transfer funds to each other.

  6. [R9] NYMCU Mobile Banking 3/5 · US Damn verification: Convenient but not when you have to keep waiting for a verification code that takes long at times and I’m waiting to make a transaction and I need a code every time I’m checking my balance. Also to contact the bank it’s always an extremely long wait
  7. [R19] NYMCU Mobile Banking 1/5 · US Ms Love: Why do I need a code every time
  8. [R21] NYMCU Mobile Banking 3/5 · US Verification Code Bust: The verification code sometimes doesn’t send out the code so I can’t see into my account or access it. This is very frustrating … why would that happen I had this account for 10 years all of a sudden it needs these silly verification code. This needs to be fixed because I am not the only one that this has happened too and it’s always at the worst time.

  14. [R26] NYMCU Mobile Banking 5/5 · US Direct deposit: What I like about Mcu is that we don’t have to wait till Friday to get paid. We automatically receive our paycheck on Wednesday instead of waiting Thursday or Friday like every other bank that makes the customers wait till Thursday or Friday to receive their paycheck.

They’ve been good with us for the 20 years we’ve been with them , even when there has been a few hiccups along the way but they’ve always been on top of things to help us out.
