It’s an easy way to keep track of our accounts and sends me a text message if an account gets below a certain amount, thus saving me from getting an overdraft or automatic transfer.

  9. [R4] UCB Banks 1/5 · US Inaccessible: ( -10 stars ) I’m always struggling to log in, getting the same error message of connection issues. I’ve tried calling support that blames my phone or internet service. I’m an OTR trucker, been all over the 48 states on so many different networks, all other apps never have a VPN or security locking issue; its frustrating having no support when their systems are failing. I left this b
  10. [R7] UCB Banks 1/5 · US Crashes too much.: Can only use the app about half the time.
  11. [R13] UCB Banks 1/5 · US Too many error messages: Too many error messages. Cannot get on app often and now double verify?
  12. [R21] UCB Banks 3/5 · US Password bug: For weeks I have found that the first attempt to log in always says the password is incorrect. I’ve turned on the option to view the password as I’m entering it, and the password is the same each time. First attempt, incorrect password. Second attempt, successfully logged in. I assume this started after a recent update. Normally, this is a minor inconvenience, but I’m trying to s

  18. [R54] UCB Banks 1/5 · US App is horrible: My wife and I recently bought a house, and our mortgage is through UCB, so we switched banks. This app is extremely frustrating. It tells me incorrect password and then locks my account all the time. My password is saved to autocomplete through my phone so there’s no way I’m typing it incorrectly because it’s automatically being entered. It won’t let me use any of the troubleshoot
  19. [R29] UCB Banks 5/5 · US Amazing: I absolutely love the Lincoln Illinois branch there’s not a time that I go in there that I don’t feel like family. Thanks for all your help and support.
