  1. [R11] WECU Mobile 5/5 · US Easy to use: Real easy to track money movements and pay people with Zelle
  2. [R22] WECU Mobile 1/5 · US Old app was way better!!: I miss the old app way more! Sure it was VERY outdated looking (think early ‘90s). HOWEVER, since the redesign this app has been nothing but a headache. It’s awful to deal with. And what’s the point of allowing us to write descriptions for our transfers, if we then can never access the information later? I can’t tell you how many times I have been reviewing my transaction
  3. [R24] WECU Mobile 3/5 · US Where did the fico score go?: You used to be able to check credit score
  4. [R27] WECU Mobile 3/5 · US Not my fav: I really am not a fan of having all the accounts linked. For some reason my husband uses our business account (since his name is on it) to pay his bills on accident. It is a nightmare for me to figure it all out. It was better when he did not have access to that account and I could manage it without him accidentally transferring money out of the wrong account. And I am constantly locke
  5. [R2] WECU Mobile 5/5 · US Fluently functioning app: Easy to you. Hardly ever has any outage.
  6. [R7] WECU Mobile 1/5 · US Hard to use: Why do I have to keep accepting terms and conditions over and over to use the same function? Its 2025 and it takes almost a week to move funds to a different account when they finally show in the different account.
  7. [R9] WECU Mobile 3/5 · US Disappointed: I don’t wanna bold new offers tab. I want my financial institution to be just that and nothing else I want to make a change to my accounts, I will go in and talk to one of the branch employees. I want my banking app to be simple and straightforward. And I want you to stop changing it so that I have to spend hours hunting down the buttons that I always use. Please stop adding to the d
  8. [R1] WECU Mobile 1/5 · US Russian roulette: If you need to check your bank account it’s Russian roulette if you’ll actually get a phone call to get your verification code if you accidently disable the text option
  9. [R6] WECU Mobile 3/5 · US mobile deposit glitch: This app is great except for when it comes to mobile deposits, it often crashes during a mobile deposit. I’ve had it happen on multiple occasions, the app will crash which then logs you out. After logging back in and attempting the deposit again the same thing will happen. The only work around I’ve found is trying again another day. When it works it works but when it doesn’
  10. [R10] WECU Mobile 2/5 · US So slow!: This app is much slower than other banking or financial services apps.
  11. [R13] WECU Mobile 1/5 · US Been with wecu for 21 years! Done: Have to use this app to deposit my check Live out of state . Requires ios 15 or later my older phone wont run that, doesnt have an older version that folks can use. My iphone 6s works well and its paid off . So thanks for yet another forced update! I guess its time to update ...to a better bank. Wecu if u read these comments , Ur a great bank but this app is the
  12. [R35] WECU Mobile 1/5 · US Don't Rely On This App: They charged me an overdraft fee during a time when they are having a known issue with this app and I find it maddening that I was told to use the browser. Normally I would've been able to move money during a transaction but I will never trust this app again.
  13. [R36] WECU Mobile 5/5 · US Best bank ever!: I’ll never switch! WECU is a bank that values people, we’re not treated like numbers here… we are treated like a customer that matters to them. I appreciate what WECU represents, and I’m a proud member! Thank you WECU…🙏
  14. [R56] WECU Mobile 5/5 · US Awesome banking app: Very impressed with this bank and their app. I really love their interest bearing checking account that actually pays noticeable amounts. Wecu is truly generous and gives back to their members.
  15. [R68] United Community Mobile 5/5 · US United Community Mobile: Best Bank Ever, Thank you for the app, it is so convenient.
  16. [R3] WECU Mobile 3/5 · US So so banking app with performative bankers: As a homeless person, opening a new bank account was beset with difficulties. The tellers at WECU literally sneered at me and turned up their noses, but the banker who opened my accounts was very helpful… right up until the credit union had my money. I’ve had cause to reach out twice with questions since then, and WECU hasn’t condescended to even acknow
  17. [R5] WECU Mobile 5/5 · US Best bank: The service is very professional
  18. [R8] WECU Mobile 5/5 · US Great place: People are very nice, and willing to help me very well
  19. [R12] WECU Mobile 3/5 · US Frustrating deposits…: The app is definitely handy when I want to view my balances or do a quick transfer- however, the mobile deposit is awful. I swear, every check that I try to deposit gets a 2 day hold out on it. In this recession where most folks are living paycheck to paycheck, it’s a really bad design flaw.
  20. [R18] WECU Mobile 3/5 · US Somethings wrong with the way. It takes pictures of mobile deposits now.: After updating to iOS 16, I can’t seem to get the picture centered and at the correct angle to do a mobile deposit. FYI.
  21. [R72] United Community Mobile 2/5 · US Secure access code required each time for a registered device: For almost a year, the update has required me to obtain a secure access code almost every time I sign into the app. I use the app on my iPad and have to search for my phone each time to retrieve the code. Registering the iPad every time makes no difference….the code is required again the next time.
  22. [R84] United Community Mobile 1/5 · US Text code for login: Every time I try to log in it the app makes me enter a text code. Before that I was completely happy. Called customer service for help and I was asked to delete app, reload app, and it was such a hassle that I just decided to continue to do the text code each time.
  23. [R4] WECU Mobile 1/5 · US glitchy update: preferred old version. keep it simple, people.
  24. [R30] WECU Mobile 3/5 · US New updates: I can’t figure this one out!
