  5. [R1] SF Fire CU Mobile Banking 1/5 · US Worst app ever - I’m leaving this bank: The app never remembers my password, even though it’s saved in my keychain on my iphone. Even when I put it in manually it doesn’t work 50% of the time (I get a notification that it is wrong, which I 100% know is incorrect!!!) and I end up locked out of my account. The work around is changing my password which I have done nearly weekly. I have been in touch
  6. [R16] SF Fire CU Mobile Banking 2/5 · US Keeps getting worse: A few years back the all switched to a new version that appears to be a bunch of web views. The app experience keeps getting worse and worse for a few reasons. 1. The login screen never works with apples password manager. Unheard of for as long as it’s been out. 2. Once I manually look up the password, it doesn’t paste into the password field correctly. 3. The issue is
  7. [R18] SF Fire CU Mobile Banking 2/5 · US Constantly doesn’t use Face ID.: Unreliable. The app doesn’t use the technology coded into it, & usually at the worst time
  8. [R28] SF Fire CU Mobile Banking 1/5 · US The app: This app on my phone is a fk nightmare, I can’t check my account, anything, I have to restore my password every two weeks always 🤦‍♂️
  9. [R25] SF Fire CU Mobile Banking 5/5 · US Banking Made Simple: The app is easy to navigate and does exactly what I need. I can quickly check my balances, move money, and open new products without hunting around. Everything is laid out clearly so banking takes minutes.

  10. [R33] SF Fire CU Mobile Banking 5/5 · US Perfect banking app: I love the SF Fire Credit Union and their app works perfectly for me. I can deposit checks and check all my finances and details from wherever I am.
  11. [R37] SF Fire CU Mobile Banking 5/5 · US Transfer funds: I like how your platform makes it easy to move funds from my account to my wife’s account to pay for things that my wife insist will make me happy. OMG thank you again
  12. [R12] SF Fire CU Mobile Banking 2/5 · US Awful App Update (again): *UPDATE: The developer responded and the buttons have reappeared (although now they’re sized incorrectly), but I appreciate the response, at least. Changed from 1-star to 2-star. Will update again and add another star once release notes are reflective of actual changes and not just copy-pasted by the dev team* The latest update is awful. Click on one of your accounts an
  13. [R26] SF Fire CU Mobile Banking 1/5 · US Horrible when updating and communication with its customers.: When the SF Fire Credit Union updates or revamps the app, there are always problems. If you don’t have apples latest operating system, you are screwed. The women on the phone said every bank is like that, but my other banking apps still work. I have an iPhone 13 and it is only one operating system behind and the SFFCU app doesn’t work.
  14. [R48] SF Fire CU Mobile Banking 1/5 · US Horrible App: SFFCU upgrades the app 2 years ago and it is still riddled with errors.
  15. [R13] SF Fire CU Mobile Banking 5/5 · US Good app, BETTER SERVICE: The only financial institution I’ve ever had such a positive opinion of!
  16. [R31] SF Fire CU Mobile Banking 5/5 · US SF FIRE CU MOBILE BANKING: SF FIRE CU has found a way to define trust, top tier customer service and easy steps to follow when using the mobile application. It’s everything you need under one roof. I have been a customer for at least 13 years and I only have good memories to share whenever I think about what they have provided for me and my family. They also have a program now where you can get pa
  17. [R35] SF Fire CU Mobile Banking 5/5 · US San Francisco, Fire Credit Union mobile banking review: The San Francisco Fire Credit Union is an amazing organization. All of the services they provide are top-notch. The staff is grade a 100% knowledgeable, and helpful at all times. I always recommend them as an alternative to anyone who does not utilize their services.
  18. [R55] SF Fire CU Mobile Banking 5/5 · US Thank you: I feel truly blessed to be apart of SF FIRE CU. I have been treated so well financially, privately, and individually. I have used loans for my family’s vehicles over the past 10 years from SF FIRE CU and they have been so fare with my loan amounts, interest rates , payment schedules. My credit card limits , interest rates are also fantastic. I just want to say thank you SF FIRE CU.
  19. [R88] Travis CU Mobile 1/5 · US Charges to post credit card payments: I have credit cards with Discover, USAA, Chase, Umpqua, and TCU. Travis credit union is the only bank that charges me a fee ($10) to make a payment on my credit card every month from my external primary bank with Umpqua. Every other credit card company let’s me post payment from my Umpqua account without fees or issue. The only reason I haven’t closed my TCU i
  20. [R118] Travis CU Mobile 1/5 · US Frustrating: It makes it so difficult just to pay your loan. And if you call to pay they charge you $10 more. Have to write a whole check and upload it just to make a payment, would be easier to just let you pay by card or by entering your checking account info.
  21. [R2] SF Fire CU Mobile Banking 5/5 · US Gets better and better: Love the interface and finally adding Zelle !
  22. [R3] SF Fire CU Mobile Banking 3/5 · US Needs FedNow for instant payment!: There are few credit unions like Redwood credit union and Sacramento credit union who are ready supporting FedNow service for instant P2P payments. Since SF Fire Cu does not support Zelle, would be great if it integrates with FedNow. Things to consider.
  23. [R4] SF Fire CU Mobile Banking 1/5 · US How do you Zelle: They list on their website that you can use Zelle through their app, that there’s a place to send a Zelle in the navigation bar, but it is not there. I cannot find where to Zelle in the app at all.
  24. [R10] SF Fire CU Mobile Banking 2/5 · US Where is Zelle?: Where is the Zelle button? It's not in the "bottom navigation bar." And the "contact support" button doesn't work at all. I've updated the app, so why does it still have these bugs?
  25. [R6] SF Fire CU Mobile Banking 3/5 · US Deposits don’t show: Known bug for over a month, kinda frustrating. Shd at least show as received/pending.
  26. [R7] SF Fire CU Mobile Banking 1/5 · US App is fine, deposit time is horrendous: It takes up to a week (sometimes more!) for electronic deposits to clear. Totally unacceptable in this day and a deal breaker for using this once fantastic credit union.
  27. [R46] SF Fire CU Mobile Banking 1/5 · US App crashes on check deposit: I love this CU. But this app is garbage. It crashed literally every time I try to deposit a check and says “you have been logged out due to inactivity” when I’m in the middle of an activity! Deleting and redone loading the app doesn’t help.
  28. [R50] SF Fire CU Mobile Banking 1/5 · US Bugs bugs bugs: Every time I try to deposit a check, the app logs me out. What should be a simple banking app is super buggy. Love the CU but the app is awful... please just make it work for simple things!
  29. [R69] Travis CU Mobile 3/5 · US App redesign is OK - Missing Zelle: Had login issues saving passwords or using Face ID with previous version, improved with update. Zelle does not work. It’s not even visible from within the app, even though the website says it should be there. Using zelle app routes you back to the TCU app with no resolution. Almost there!
  30. [R120] Travis CU Mobile 1/5 · US Terrible wait times: The app is so hard to reset when you forget user I’d/ password. Can’t mobile pay through app unless you have a checking account with them. Please change this and get with the times. Taking a pic of a check to pay a bill is kind of ridiculous.
