- [R1] NBT Bank It sucks: This app is down or having issues way too often. I have personal and business accounts and my operations are adversely effected when I can’t move money If I could give negative stars I would. I’m also looking for another bank because of it.
- [R4] NBT Bank Awful: Only have this to pay my auto loan, the UX is awful and outdated. Making payments is far more complicated than it should be
- [R16] NBT Bank Awful: This app is absolute trash and rarely ever works.
- [R19] NBT Bank So slow: This app is so slow to open and then once you’re in, it’s so slow to do anything. It will glitch and kick me out.
- [R5] NBT Bank Very easy interface: Easy to use, clear and consistent
- [R6] NBT Bank App: Difficult to move around and work digitally in app and online banking.
- [R11] NBT Bank Excellent app!!: Easy to use and efficient, full functionality
- [R9] NBT Bank Payments: When making a payment the smaller amounts are processed very quickly but for some reason larger payments take longer, and no matter how much money is given it never meets the fulfilled monthly payments, there is always a balance on the monthly payment. I dislike NBT Bank tremendously.
- [R24] NBT Bank Hard time: Gets a frustrating trying to deposit a check
- [R30] NBT Bank Setting up external account is tough: I’m not sure if it was just my account or if it is a mobile app issue but getting this system to verify an external account took two weeks for it to actually show up.
- [R31] NBT Bank App review: Old fashioned technology, can’t pay my car loan using my ATM card, instead have to set up transfer with my bank, confusing to use
- [R12] NBT Bank Creating printed ledgers: I find it difficult format and print ledgers from the previous year transactions. And once I do the description column is duplicated. I just find it cumbersome.
- [R13] NBT Bank Can’t count: This bank app is always wrong. And they can’t count on weekends.
- [R35] NBT Bank Transactions history: Make sure you print all your statements! I signed up for online statements to save on the paper and Im pretty sure at the time I could look up my entire transaction history on the NBT site. Now I can only look up 18 months of history and so I have no access to anything prior to November 2024. I’m in a dispute with someone over payments that were made a few years ago. I seem t
- [R39] NBT Bank Available funds -vs- actual funds: Don’t like that there is no description on amount and who funds are being held by. Makes it hard to take orders that funds are split to various companies when I only have a grand total to go by. Don’t understand why this bank app doesn’t give that info when other banking apps do. May not be able to stay with this bank if tracking orders gets any harder.
- [R2] NBT Bank Not Evans any more: And I thought that Evans Bank couldn’t be improved. Oh boy, was I wrong. NBT is even better!
- [R3] NBT Bank Banking withthe NBT app: NBT is great in personand banking. The app is adequate but it could be improved even with something as simple as the speed it takes to move between pages. Though the app is slower than other banking apps, it does get the job done. But no one beats the actual staff at the physical bank.
- [R7] NBT Bank horrible: not just the app, NBT bank sucks
- [R8] NBT Bank Clinton Bank: 10 Star
- [R85] FNBT & FCB Mobile Glitches constantly: The app is glitching constantly. Any time I need to schedule a recurring transfer, it doesn’t show the options for which days to schedule out in the future so I have to go to the desktop version. It’s constantly going down for maintenance at the worst times. This bank doesn’t allow outgoing external transfers, charges $1 for Zelle transactions, and only allows $200 Zelle trans
- [R87] FNBT & FCB Mobile Zelle: You shouldn’t have to pay to Zelle someone else I minus well have a Cash App card. No other bank charges
- [R101] FNBT & FCB Mobile .: There are things about this card that get on my nerves. For instance, it's a mastercard, therefore, I couldn't use it at Costco. The customer service hours are trash. They have a cut off time of when you can move YOUR money around. Lastly, they will keep blocking charges that you're actually trying to make. There was a time where I needed to pay my mechanic, and almost couldn't get my car becau
- [R69] FNBT & FCB Mobile Horario de transferencia: Es una buena app, me funciona bien todo, lo único que no me gusta es que a las 10 pm ya no puedo hacer transferencias y eso siempre me choca porque yo siempre tengo mi dinero en savings y no en checking, así que cuando quiero pasar dinero ya no me deja. Incluso ha pasado cuando apenas son las 9 (ni siquiera las 10pm) y no me deja aunque falte una hora para la hora que ya
- [R72] FNBT & FCB Mobile Review: I would leave a 5 star but the only thing I have issues with is no transferring after 10pm. We had to get a second bank just to be able to transfer.
- [R78] FNBT & FCB Mobile money is supposed to be secure and is not: Sometimes I will log into my account and money will be missing or moved from accounts even though I was not the one who did those actions, the fact that I can’t control or transfer money between accounts after 10 is ridiculous, there have been to many instances where my money has not been available or money has randomly gone missing or will get taken, it’
- [R60] NBT Bank Credit card: How does the NBT app not support my NBT credit card..so of course I have to use a 3rd party app to pay the thing.
- [R42] NBT Bank Terrible: Never loads on multiple attempts. Constantly just spinning circles. And can’t get an accurate account balance on the weekends.
