  1. [R1] City Credit Union Mobile 1/5 · US No longer able to deposit on mobile: With limited in person bank options, you would think that mobile deposit would be a feature that they offer, but unfortunately it no longer is
  2. [R3] City Credit Union Mobile 3/5 · US Zelle: Zelle always has a glitch and charges for immediate transactions. It’s annoying. I really wish they would fix that
  3. [R6] City Credit Union Mobile 3/5 · US Good but...: This is user friendly but missing some of the basics that other banks and credit unions offer and that’s the daily running balance. This is the main reason why I don’t give this higher stars. I have seen previous reviews by others asking for the same thing.....
  4. [R9] City Credit Union Mobile 3/5 · US Could provide more functionality: The app works with no glitches, which is great, but it would be nice to have more functionality such as alerts and notifications. There are no options to set notifications for low balance or deposits. I cannot see my running balance, which is the most basic of banking apps. I have to log in online to see this information. Also, I don’t understand the purpose of ma
  5. [R10] City Credit Union Mobile 1/5 · US Can’t Login: I have not been able to login to this app since it’s been created. The many updates they’ve done have not fixed it. Using iPhone 13 Pro. Enter username and p-word, provide a day use phone #, receive “successful” save notification, hit continue button, takes me back to the login page, process starts all over. A continuous loop. What’s happening? I can go online to the website login,

  7. [R18] City Credit Union Mobile 3/5 · US Some improvements can be made: They should let you view your pending transactions on the app as well. You should also be able to exit the app and reenter the app with out having to type in your password again for a short period of time.
  8. [R4] City Credit Union Mobile 1/5 · US Disappointed: This app is terrible. I have tried updating it, uninstalling and reinstalling, nothing works.

Never had an issue with any other banking app.

  12. [R45] City of Boston Credit Union 5/5 · US Excellent should be its name.: Please let me start by saying that this is the best credit union I have ever been a member of, and I must say I’ve been a member of two others in the past but the team always goes above and beyond, regardless of what it is, a simple request for a new/lost card or something more complex.
