  1. [R2] KeyBank Mobile Banking 5/5 · US Quick and easy to use: The KeyBank Mobile App is very quick and handy. I’ve been able to quickly pull up my credit card balance, see relevant details, and make payments just as quickly.

  3. [R31] KeyBank Mobile Banking 1/5 · US Quick View not working: Multiple times I try to re-enable the feature, yet it inevitably stops working and can’t pull it back up, just a blank screen.
  4. [R52] KeyBank Mobile Banking 5/5 · US Honest after using it 5+ years: Honestly good sleek easy to use interface. It uses Face ID so log in is easy. Zelle is implementing right into the app. However, it can be buggy and recently hasn’t even been loading properly. I have an iPhone 15 pro max too so idk what it is

  6. [R9] KeyBank Mobile Banking 3/5 · US Slowness: It takes a while to load if it’s wasn’t for it being slow and sometimes down your rate would have been a five star
  7. [R10] KeyBank Mobile Banking 1/5 · US Terrible: This app is extremely slow. Also the Face ID doesn’t work. I have it set up for all of my other apps however with Key Bank app, it acts as though it’s using Face ID but won’t open. I still have to enter my password manually. Then it takes forever to load once the login has been accepted. It’s very frustrating.
  8. [R4] KeyBank Mobile Banking 1/5 · US Makes me want to change Banks: If I could give this a zero star I would, NEVER loads anymore, have to clear out of the app and retry at least 20 times. Today I can’t even access my account, will more than likely be switching banks because I can’t even check my account via app at this point. Been going on for months. Worst app on my phone, people want to check and see their account and this app mak
  9. [R13] KeyBank Mobile Banking 2/5 · US So slow: I get really frustrated with how slow it is for my app to open or change pages.
  10. [R14] KeyBank Mobile Banking 4/5 · US Good app, terrible connectivity.: The app is excellent and provides any banking and information needs I may have. However, if I’m not within feet of my home WiFi router or directly underneath a cell tower it becomes sketchy. The only trick that will occasionally work is to toggle airplane mode, and more often than not it only takes me past the login screen and won’t make it to the actual page. As
  11. [R1] KeyBank Mobile Banking 1/5 · US Funds on hold: Legitimate payroll checks put on hold what a inconvenient start to a new checking account
  12. [R23] KeyBank Mobile Banking 1/5 · US Overdraft fee to much: They charged you first before getting notification
  13. [R35] KeyBank Mobile Banking 1/5 · US A very mediocre bank: Funds for check remittances are often frozen, transfers take a long time, the interface is complex, and instant transfers require extra fees. Compared to Wells Fargo, the user experience is significantly worse. · translated
  14. [R57] KeyBank Mobile Banking 1/5 · US Key bank sucks: Been forced into online statements. Lousy service.
  15. [R7] KeyBank Mobile Banking 1/5 · US Worst customer service: Worst bank ever!
  16. [R19] KeyBank Mobile Banking 1/5 · US Stressful banking: I have money in the bank and no one I try to pay is getting paid. All my error messages say to “contact your bank”. I’ve talked to my bank 4 times yesterday and still don’t have answers. It’s not us it’s them…🙄I’m losing it!
  17. [R30] KeyBank Mobile Banking 5/5 · US My only bank: I have been with key for as long as I can remember. I’m not really a person who jumps from bank to bank. I prefer one. I like Key. There are always nice people to talk to. If you’re having any issues they are quick to help resolve them. One time my account got hacked and my money was stolen and quickly key came to my rescue. They quickly stopped my debit card. They issued my money ba
  18. [R3] KeyBank Mobile Banking 3/5 · US Idioma: Les falta poner la opción ponerla en español gracias
  19. [R15] KeyBank Mobile Banking 1/5 · US Can’t turn off ads: KeyBank continuously uses notifications to broadcast ads into my Notification Center encouraging me to open a free checking account to earn a bonus. There is no way to disable these ads so I turned off notifications for the entire app in my system settings. Since I’m now missing my real banking-related notifications, I am switching banks.
  20. [R33] KeyBank Mobile Banking 1/5 · US Not as Good as Other Banking Apps: Love Key Bank for their customer service, but the app is not as good as others and the new pop-up ad cannot be closed which is just a terrible gimmicks to make you go paperless.
  21. [R37] KeyBank Mobile Banking 1/5 · US App unusable due to non-clickable prompt: Paperless activation prompt has “not now” so high on screen that iPhones cannot click the prompt. Bad design with no apparent testing.
  22. [R41] KeyBank Mobile Banking 1/5 · US horrible: when you log in theres pop up to go paperless and has option for not now. Except when i click not now it does not work
  23. [R64] Capital One Mobile 2/5 · US Debit card declined: First off I love Capital One BUT, the fact that my debit card has been declined on multiple occasions because of the move to Discover network, I have moved to SoFi. It was suggested by Capital One that I use my credit card to avoid those issues and that didn’t sit well with me. Again I’d love to come back but, it just embarrassing and a bad look for Capital One.
  24. [R69] Capital One Mobile 3/5 · US Changed from Visa to Discover: After the change from Visa to Discover I can’t make purchases in other countries and even at some stores in the US like Costco. I travel a lot and I have to transfer money to my business account in order to make a purchase at Costco and it’s all extremely inconvenient.
