  1. [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.
  2. [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
  3. [R11] WECU Mobile 5/5 · US Easy to use: Real easy to track money movements and pay people with Zelle
  4. [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 Sure it was VERY outdated looking (think early ‘90s).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

  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. [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.
  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 .

  12. [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

  20. [R31] WECU Mobile 1/5 · US Buggy: I like it when the app actually works. I can’t take it when it tells me I need to call customer service because of an app error. I’m not one to pout but I am considering going to elsewhere because of this petty issue. I need this to work now, not later

  23. [R48] WECU Mobile 5/5 · US WECU app: I find this app to be very user-friendly. It has gotten better over the years to a point where I can use it. Smoothly and intuitively.
