- [R17] Union Bank & Trust Mobile Can’t update: Says I need to update but I click it and then the App Store says it don’t need it. It just keeps doing the same thing
- [R3] Union Bank & Trust Mobile Payment takes too long to be processed.: I did setup automatic payment every month but every time I tried to pay extra $100 to the principal account before the deadline they generated it as regular payment and I don’t like it.
- [R4] Union Bank & Trust Mobile App Issues: The app is alright for checking balances and transferring money, but other functions there seems to be a major hiccup. Whenever I try to use the Zelle function, the page rarely populates. This happens on both mobile and desktop. I moved around to different MiFis and tried a hardline connection to try and eliminate network issues, but I can rarely get the Zelle page to populate; it just
- [R9] Union Bank & Trust Mobile Payments: It’s takes several days for account payments to update
- [R13] Union Bank & Trust Mobile Zelle: Zelle app has lot of problems, app crashes when we open directly, when we tried a payment it went on hold and asked to contact customer support but unable to reach customer support. Totally disappointed
- [R8] Union Bank & Trust Mobile Easy: Works great for us, easy to make changes and review accounts !! Wish all apps were this user friendly .
- [R20] Union Bank & Trust Mobile Easy to navigate: It’s easy too navigate the app.
- [R30] Union Bank & Trust Mobile Works Great!!: Very easy to use!!
- [R36] Union Bank & Trust Mobile Easy: It’s easy to just open my phone and see how much money I have
- [R10] Union Bank & Trust Mobile Ubt moblile: This is the worst banking institution ever. I have been locked out of my account for three weeks. I have no idea how much money has gone negative, and I don’t know what to do.
- [R11] Union Bank & Trust Mobile Bad: App down for six hours, no customer support
- [R23] Union Bank & Trust Mobile My app is hacked: UBT un hack my account people answer your calls that don’t work for UBT
- [R5] Union Bank & Trust Mobile Great for UNL: This app is great for UNL students, especially with the sign-up bonus! The savings accounts are lacking quite a bit after graduation, but I really like their current 12-month promotional “Money Market Account” that has an interest rate of 3.45%, which is the highest for non-CD accounts. I’ll likely be looking elsewhere for a long-term high-yield savings account, but otherwise this
- [R25] Union Bank & Trust Mobile Terrible bank: Website doesn’t work but have to make a payment today. So of course there is a an extra $5 fee. Get it together and the customer service is subpar. No one knows anything or how to help. Avoid this bank if you can
- [R88] Travis CU Mobile 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
- [R108] Travis CU Mobile The CU is ok, app LACKS: On top of not having an updated debit card with a tap reader, the app also lacks. There are no widgets, no banner alerts when I spend money. No way to decline a purchase, they charge it and charge you an overdraft fee like a traditional bank. My other banks decline it and text me to get my things together lol It finally has mobile deposit, but it glitches just as much as
- [R37] Union Bank & Trust Mobile Cannot use Zelle: The app is really bad. Whenever I try to use Zelle through the app, it kicks me out. Super inconvenience!
- [R56] Union Bank & Trust Mobile Zelle: I love the ease of the app. I wish I knew how to access Zelle while using it. I’ve been having to leave the app and go to ubt.com to use Zelle.
- [R118] Travis CU Mobile 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.
- [R120] Travis CU Mobile 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.
- [R33] Union Bank & Trust Mobile Don’t cash checks on the app: Why would it be an option to cash a check online if it takes longer than 4 days for it to be in my account? I need money and simply have to wait and hope it hits my account. No reliable banking app should have that problem.
