  11. [R6] NYMCU Mobile Banking 3/5 · US My opinion: You don’t help the core customers enough banking feels primitive I had a disrespectful conversation with one of your representatives when I was filing a home loan and was told that my 25+ years track record of on time payments was not enough didn’t even bother to open up my account and take a look I stand back and watch people who don’t even work for the city, obtain accounts and get l
  12. [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.

  16. [R66] Regions Mobile 3/5 · US Zelle tab is a toss up.: The Zelle portion of the app is really buggy and sometimes won’t load at all when accessing it on Wi-Fi. It’s not the connection as everything else works. Inside the app and outside of it. Otherwise. Good app.
