- [R2] Arrowhead Mobile Banking Easy to Navigate: This mobile banking is great and very easy to use. Transfers are instantly completed when initiated. Like it a lot.
- [R5] Arrowhead Mobile Banking This app is SLOW & SUCKS: Cluttered, bad UI design, annoying to use. Remember is bad and can’t use saved face or fingerprint. Tired of typing my password every, single. time. Took forever to find it in setting. Ask once and that’s it. Chat bubble is always in the way, needs a way to hide it too. Locations page to find ATMs sucks too. Only shows sketchy places and have to resort to my map app. Like
- [R9] Arrowhead Mobile Banking Good app can be improved: UI could be more user friendly
- [R11] Arrowhead Mobile Banking My opinion: Easy to navigate.
- [R1] Arrowhead Mobile Banking Broken again!!!: App is broken again! Authentication error! Tried a wrong password, that gives a bad credentials error, so that’s not the issue. They need to hire whoever develops Navy Federal’s app, it Always works
- [R4] Arrowhead Mobile Banking Terrible app: The app frequently crashes during use, often without warning. In addition, I am repeatedly prompted to sign in multiple times within a single session, even though Face ID is enabled on my device. This defeats the purpose of having biometric authentication and significantly disrupts the user experience. These issues have made it difficult to reliably access my account and complete bas
- [R7] Arrowhead Mobile Banking The app is horrible: The app is always having issues connecting, gives a “authentication needed” message but doesn’t allow you to do anything to resolve it, then you get a “system is not responding, try again later” message and you can’t view your balance or anything making it completely useless. I hate this app and wish Arrowhead would fix it. It sucks
- [R6] Arrowhead Mobile Banking App: Love the App but for using Zelle is like a maze and harder to use. I get it playing safe but it’s almost impossible to use Zelle on here.
- [R13] Arrowhead Mobile Banking Mobile deposit: I have had more problems than not with the mobile deposit. It did not use to be as sensitive as it seems to be now? Took me 20 min to deposit one check tonight because it continued to deny my image of the back after I managed to get the front excepted. Not sure if it’s just me or if you have had other complaints? Thank you for being awesome though when I come In or call in with an
- [R10] Arrowhead Mobile Banking Glitchy & SLOW!: Almost always encountering issues with this app. It is SO slow and glitchy! The “remember me” option often gets wiped and you have to manually enter member id & password again. Then authorize Face ID AGAIN. The chat feature is also hard to find as sometimes the bubble doesn’t even appear. If you are in the middle of being helped in a chat and have to navigate to another part of th
- [R21] Arrowhead Mobile Banking Password resets: I got logged out and wasn’t able to log in. Every time I try to reset my password it never lets me. It tells me it can’t find my account after I input my security questions correctly and locks me out when it shouldn’t be this difficult. I always have to call and give the same answers just to reset my password it’s ridiculous!
- [R31] Arrowhead Mobile Banking I hate this app: I hate this app with a passion, when im logged in i like it; but it logs me out every month and my login doesnt work anytime afterwards so u have to spend an hour on the phone trying to figure it out

- [R22] Arrowhead Mobile Banking Zelle hasnt worked in a month!: I have deleted the app, reaet my phone, Zelle just stopped working I just get an error message every time I try to use it. There's not even an option for Zelle on the website when I try from my laptop. Super random
- [R29] Arrowhead Mobile Banking Mobile Banking Review: Love this app. The only thing I wish would be easier is Zelle. Takes a while to add someone and sometimes doesn’t let me Zelle certain people. Don’t know why that is
- [R33] Arrowhead Mobile Banking Zelle doesn’t work properly: I love everything else about the app, but when I want to send money to someone through Zelle, I can do it only once. After that I put in their information in to send money, it says that that contact already exists and to select new information. But it doesn’t even show me that their information is in my app. So I have no way of sending them money more than once unless
- [R15] Arrowhead Mobile Banking I want to rate higher: I am still having so many issues with the mobile deposit all the changes have been amazing so far! But every time I gave to upload a mobile deposit I’m annoyed and frustrated because 8/10 times it doesn’t work even with perfect lighting. Oh well maybe one day it will work
