  1. [R1] Wright-Patt CU Mobile Banking 1/5 · US My WP App review: This app is not good. It’s slow and the credit card balances or payments are not updated fast enough. Some accounts do not show the correct remaining balance. It used to be better before. Now it’s trash.
  2. [R6] Wright-Patt CU Mobile Banking 3/5 · US Used to be great: After the most recent overhaul, I have an outside account that whenever I click it on the app or online on my laptop, takes me to the budget section. It doesn’t allow me to update passwords for that particular imported account. I’ve tried to remove the outside account. Neither the app nor the online portal will allow me to do this. Prior to the overhaul, I could go in and change
  3. [R16] Wright-Patt CU Mobile Banking 1/5 · US Credit Cards: All of the changes made to the credit card account are not for the consumer. We used to be able to make payments and see our balances go down instantly similar to how we can with loans. This has been the biggest drawback of all the changes. The app also glitches a lot which it never used to do. You have to select a button multiple times and it’s almost like it doesn’t register it.
  4. [R18] Wright-Patt CU Mobile Banking 3/5 · US Catch Up: Agree with others being bummed about widgets not working with the latest iOS… I knew it’d be a slower fix than other bigger companies, but it’s been months now and still no mention of a planned update to get up to speed…?
  5. [R2] Wright-Patt CU Mobile Banking 5/5 · US Good: App is good. Wish it would stop asking me every time I log in to give a review.
  6. [R3] Wright-Patt CU Mobile Banking 3/5 · US Like the app: Can we stop asking when we log in. I like the app’
  7. [R4] Wright-Patt CU Mobile Banking 1/5 · US Asking for rate too many times: The mobile app is good and works fine. However, every time I log into it, the app prompts me to leave a rate and a review. It becomes overbearing at times
  8. [R7] Wright-Patt CU Mobile Banking 1/5 · US Don’t need to ask for a review every time someone logs in.: .
  9. [R10] Wright-Patt CU Mobile Banking 1/5 · US Worse banking app imaginable: There is never a working current version of this app it is constantly either under development or not working if your someone who needs to consistently be aware of your bank funds use another bank until they get a working app
  10. [R12] Wright-Patt CU Mobile Banking 3/5 · US Great Credit Union: We like the Credit Union, the issue is the app is very inconsistent with making check deposits.
  11. [R15] Wright-Patt CU Mobile Banking 3/5 · US Glitchy on iPad: I’ve had too many instances of receiving error messages, e.g., unable to provide a new password due to technical problems, when using my iPad. Unfortunately for my interface with WPCU, I use my iPad 95% of the time to conduct my business.
  12. [R33] Wright-Patt CU Mobile Banking 5/5 · US Best Credit Union: I’ve been with this credit union for over 30 years and can’t fathom ever not banking with them.
  13. [R37] Wright-Patt CU Mobile Banking 5/5 · US My review: Best bank in Dayton in my opinion
  14. [R45] Wright-Patt CU Mobile Banking 5/5 · US Helpful financial tools: We’ve been members since 2009 - way before there was an app but we’ve definitely found the app very useful. We especially appreciate and take advantage of the tools used to budget and track expenses. WPCU helps make all things financial much easier for us and we highly recommend this credit union and the app.
  15. [R47] Wright-Patt CU Mobile Banking 5/5 · US There when you need them!: Been a member for over 40 years. Best financial institution ever.
  16. [R28] Wright-Patt CU Mobile Banking 1/5 · US Inept legalease: Before I can even use the latest update, I’m confronted with a 23 page legal agreement that the app won’t allow me to download so I have a record of all the fees, my obligations, and their disclaimers of liability to which I’ve agreed…23 pages!! Inept!
  17. [R38] Wright-Patt CU Mobile Banking 1/5 · US Issues with online portal!!: Its annoying!!!! The online needs checked daily and update there app for payments going straight through. I paid my credit card just 10 mins again and its still saying i owe anither 20!!! 😡😡😡😡😡 i keep calling them to fix it but the still havent fixed it!!! After 6 months this has been going on. My pacients are going thin!!!
  18. [R40] Wright-Patt CU Mobile Banking 1/5 · US Credit Card Changover: The credit card change over has not been a smooth or a user friendly feature. I ended up paying my entire balance due by one day late (due on Thanksgiving) and now the new month does not reflect what is due for that month. Had to call the customer service to get clarity. It was clear as mud after the phone call. Bottom line, the new credit card system is not user friendly :
  19. [R64] BCU Mobile Banking 1/5 · US Denied my claim: A company delivered an order to the wrong address. I showed all docs and BCU refused to refund my $.
  20. [R30] Wright-Patt CU Mobile Banking 1/5 · US Update is trash: The has been terrible for atleast 6 months as a member of 5 years and have had the app and kept up to date its progressively gotten worse. At times the accounts take 6 hours to update balances and alerts are about useless bc they take equally as long. Sign in trouble and transferring issues. The app needs taken down for a week so you guys can actually fix it. Extremely disappointe
  21. [R66] BCU Mobile Banking 3/5 · US Balances and overdrafts: I wish our balance was more reliable and accurate most of the time. I get pending charges, but not everything takes that long to come out and we need a better depiction of what’s actually in our account after ALL transactions have came out.
  22. [R63] BCU Mobile Banking 3/5 · US Depositing a Check is a JOKE: I’ve never had a more frustrating experience trying to scan a check. What a fluffing joke!
  23. [R70] BCU Mobile Banking 1/5 · US Needs update: Deposit anywhere does not work. I clearly updated both front and back of check and it was declined due to not having back of check. In the declination the back of the check was included! I will not be wasting time and checks with this app. It’s enough frustration this CU is mostly online.
  24. [R75] BCU Mobile Banking 3/5 · US Disappointing quality: I like BCU, but this app is a real letdown. The mobile deposit feature is borderline useless - glitchy interface, and whatever AI or algorithm they use is very inaccurate. The app will leave your location services in use for eternity until you manually close it. The credit card reward page makes you enter your account number manually and the app doesn’t let you go back to ac
  25. [R71] BCU Mobile Banking 4/5 · US Make Zelle and the app more reliable: I only get the spinning wheel and it never loads. 2 days straight it will not open on my iPhone 15 or my one year old iPad. Fix it! I like banking with you guys for the most part. But when I need/want to send somebody money via Zelle, I need this app to work.
  26. [R81] BCU Mobile Banking 3/5 · US No Zelle?: I just opened my account last Monday, so it’s been about 9 days. Every time I try to set up Zelle it says “page not found” and there’s no button for it on the app. Does this bank still offer Zelle?
  27. [R90] BCU Mobile Banking 3/5 · US Please make it easier to use Zelle in the app: Zelle is not very well integrated into the app and it makes it difficult to Zelle new people even if they are already enrolled with Zelle. I never had issues with this while banking with Chase.
  28. [R94] BCU Mobile Banking 1/5 · US Worst credit union ever: Staff disrespectful on phone. They tell me with without direct deposit I’m not able to use any of the bank features such as Zelle, check deposits
