  1. [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
  2. [R7] UCB Banks 1/5 · US Crashes too much.: Can only use the app about half the time.
  3. [R10] UCB Banks 1/5 · US Frustrating: The new revamp of this app is so slow. I loved the older version of the app, I found it much more user friendly. Current update either doesn’t load or takes forever to load.
  4. [R13] UCB Banks 1/5 · US Too many error messages: Too many error messages. Cannot get on app often and now double verify?
  5. [R18] UCB Banks 3/5 · US Not as user friendly: Not as user friendly. My accounts got all mixed up harder to operate and more confusing.
  6. [R19] UCB Banks 1/5 · US Regarding the new “update”: Didn’t have a problem with the previous version, they did an “update” few weeks ago and I think it is terrible now. Thinking about getting rid of it.
  7. [R22] UCB Banks 1/5 · US Update: The most recent update makes it harder to read the transactions and what they go to. And it's harder to navigate. I thought updates were supposed to be improvements? This update is HORRIBLE!! Fix the update!!
  8. [R5] UCB Banks 5/5 · US Mobile Deposit: So fast, so easy! Great feature!
  9. [R6] UCB Banks 3/5 · US Very limited: Limited options, it’s not very efficient.
  10. [R9] UCB Banks 3/5 · US Just OK: Basic app. Not as useful as other banks. Views of accounts and actions are a bit more limited. Forced to go to website for further actions.
  11. [R11] UCB Banks 5/5 · US Makes life a little easier: This app has saved us so much money over the years! 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. And I can make transfers between accounts or pay extra on a loan any time of the day or night.
  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
  13. [R25] UCB Banks 1/5 · US New Update: I don’t know what you guys did for the new update, but I shouldn’t have to verify that it’s me EVERY SINGLE time I go to log in. It’s annoying.
  14. [R2] UCB Banks 5/5 · US Favorite Bank: Customer Service is outstanding.
  15. [R8] UCB Banks 5/5 · US Awesome: This is the BEST BANK!!! They have always been on their promises!! I’ve had a few close calls with fraud and always on top of it!! They do and have always put us customers first!! Appreciate you always!!
  16. [R14] UCB Banks 5/5 · US Great people: They have always been super to me and very friendly. When I have had a problem they have helped me
  17. [R15] UCB Banks 3/5 · US App itself is good, Zelle is BAD: App design is pretty, compact, easy to navigate, and has plenty of support options. HOWEVER, DO NOT USE UCB’s INTEGRATED MONEY-TRANSFER SOFTWARE. This software is titled “Zelle” and it will only cause you pain. Multiple times in the last month I’ve sent money to and received money from my brother with multiple roadblocks. The app will frequently ask you to log in
  18. [R23] UCB Banks 5/5 · US Very User Friendly!: Easy to use app. Quickly updates balances on all accounts. Zelle is such a useful feature between my wife and I!
  19. [R86] ICCU Mobile Banking 2/5 · US Unsatisfied: The app doesn't have a Zelle feature. What kind of mobile banking app doesn't have Zelle
  20. [R70] ICCU Mobile Banking 2/5 · US Dumb app: It’s dumb to have scheduled maintenance on the app all day Sunday when the bank is closed, I want to access my money!
  21. [R90] ICCU Mobile Banking 1/5 · US Really?! You choose NOW?!: I love my banking app.. but whoever decided it was a good idea to schedule maintenance on Labor Day weekend is a complete moron. You have zero common sense and you have screwed our weekend plans. Thank you so much.
