  1. [R3] FCU Mobile Banking 3/5 · US Really needs Zelle: How long it takes to transfer from another bank is way too long. Every other account I have has Zelle. I like most everything else about FCU but they need to speed up their speeds on external account transfers. It’s not good.
  2. [R6] FCU Mobile Banking 3/5 · US Why can't I direct deposit checks from my phone?: Other banks that I banked with gives you the ability to take a photo of my check and deposit it that way with this bank since I moved I have to drive 45+ mins one way just to cash a check it's insane and will be the only reason I change banks.
  3. [R9] FCU Mobile Banking 3/5 · US Waiting for Zelle: I have been with FCU for decades. Have always loved it. I’m now stuck at a crossroads with as much as I need Zelle, I’m hoping FLCU will consider it soon.
  4. [R12] FCU Mobile Banking 3/5 · US Renewing cd: I wish FCU would allow us to renew a cd online. Why make us drive to the CU and wait for someone to do it in person?
  5. [R4] FCU Mobile Banking 1/5 · US Card: They won’t let me unlock my mf card I js want a spicy mcchicken
  6. [R13] FCU Mobile Banking 1/5 · US Can't sigh in or sign up: I just got my card from Buchholz High School, and they didn't give me my account number or ask what I want set for my password, I'm try to ask them for the FCU Staff in buchholz high but they just don't car aboute
  7. [R15] FCU Mobile Banking 3/5 · US App: I often have issues with the app. Being able to lock or unlock my card. In these times especially not being able to unlock my card and get to my money when needed has made me think about switching banks. It’s very frustrating to be standing in line to pay for something with people behind me, and my app keeps saying… Oops… It’s not an oops when I can’t access my money! So I hope you guys work
  8. [R19] FCU Mobile Banking 1/5 · US Information about Clients: Difficult to use, can't see complete information For example, I can't find the advance payment. make repeated payments
  9. [R16] FCU Mobile Banking 1/5 · US Worst bank I ever had: The app constantly logs me out my account . And just now it deleted my checking and saving account . Do not recommend this bank to anyone. This is the most stupidest app I ever had , and please don’t try to call they’ll put u on hold for hours just to tell u to “update the app” like that’s now the first thing I thought of when I got logged out my account honestly just switch
  10. [R18] FCU Mobile Banking 3/5 · US Mobile deposit: Mobile deposit feature does not work. This is the third time I’ve had this problem, twice before I uninstalled/reinstalled the app and the feature worked, but this time it didn’t make any difference. If they’d fix that, the app would be ok.
  11. [R22] FCU Mobile Banking 1/5 · US Many errors and issues: As of 7/23/2023 I am on the current version of the app and have had numerous problems with the app these past few months. It keeps undoing my alert/notification settings. It says it saves them when I turn them on but when I go back into the settings they are all turned off.
  12. [R24] FCU Mobile Banking 3/5 · US Lagging to Load: When I click on the app, this happens multiple times, it will not load. I like how I can see my checking without logging in, but it takes forever to load the initial sign in screen!
  13. [R8] FCU Mobile Banking 5/5 · US FCU: Best Credit Union! Glad I switched!
  14. [R34] FCU Mobile Banking 5/5 · US FCU: I have been with Florida Credit Union for over 10 years and I love this bank. I would not change financial institutions for the world. The customer service is awesome, the call center is always willing to help and their attitude is positive. I love FCU

  16. [R40] FCU Mobile Banking 5/5 · US FCU: I’ve had this account since I was 17. They have always been great.
  17. [R2] FCU Mobile Banking 5/5 · US Banking: On time and ther customer service is great
  18. [R10] FCU Mobile Banking 1/5 · US shameful: i just cant say anything good here. the app asked for a review so here it is. i had a store deposite my check to a wrong account and then treated me like a criminal when i tried to rectify the situation separate from above, the staff is rude and ignorant. and its just slightly better than some of banks here. im appalled with my experience but i guess its better than wells fargo or b
  19. [R11] FCU Mobile Banking 5/5 · US Great People: So far everything has been wonderful 👍
  20. [R26] FCU Mobile Banking 4/5 · US No Zelle in app.: I was going to switch to Florida, Credit Union, but they don’t have Zelle in their app so I’m keeping my U.S. Bank even though there’s no branch here, but I will keep both of them and hope that FCU will get it. It just makes things so much easier. 
  21. [R73] Founders FCU 5/5 · US Easy to navigate: I have had no issues so far. Easy to navigate.
  22. [R79] Founders FCU 5/5 · US Very easy to use.: Very easy to use.
  23. [R82] Founders FCU 5/5 · US I absolutely LOVE THIS APP: Easy to Navigate!
  24. [R84] Founders FCU 5/5 · US Survey: Very easy to use, simple and easy and with face recognition I don’t have to punch in a password.
  25. [R69] Founders FCU 3/5 · US Real-time updates?: Would like to see the app notify me immediately each and every time a transaction occurs to catch any problems ASAP - that would move my rating to 5 stars
  26. [R70] Founders FCU 2/5 · US Basic App: I love FFCU. I’m hoping they invest in the technology to overhaul their app to be more in line with other major banking institutions. Not necessarily all the bells and whistles, but it’s certainly a very basic app. And the alerts are useless since it doesn’t provide any specifics.
