  1. [R12] Consumers Credit Union 3/5 · US Lag time: I like seeing all my accounts in one app. The only down side is the lag time between the ads and viewing account details.
  2. [R15] Consumers Credit Union 3/5 · US Good but not Great: Good app but the face ID doesn’t work and I would like to be able to freeze my card from the app.
  3. [R17] Consumers Credit Union 5/5 · US Review: Easy to use and provides a total balance on first page.
  4. [R18] Consumers Credit Union 3/5 · US onlinekzoo: Really needs the ability to track progress towards qualifying requirements for higher interest rate checking. That’s not just a useful feature it feels like a more honest and transparent approach, empowering members to track progress and take action within the month. Hope this gets added soon.
  5. [R10] Consumers Credit Union 2/5 · US Remove the chatbot: You desperately need to make the chatbot a moveable element or allow us to get rid of it completely. It covers other items in the app and then I can’t click to close a pop up or other icon.
  6. [R11] Consumers Credit Union 5/5 · US Great Site: I have only been on the website for a little over a month but I find it very convenient to navigate. I could not be more satisfied. Thanks for great effort that was put into making it user friendly.
  7. [R19] Consumers Credit Union 2/5 · US Horrible app design and functionality: There’s little to no common sense with this app and how it functions. The dashboard looks like it was designed by a high schooler just learning to code.
  8. [R26] Consumers Credit Union 5/5 · US Fantastic!: Super easy to navigate through, never have had an issue with it!
  9. [R13] Consumers Credit Union 1/5 · US Annoyingly Laggy: Love Consumers, but this app is sooooo laggy. I’ve contacted IT and they just continue to tell me they have no idea what I’m referring to and haven’t had any other complaints. It takes a while to load and access my accounts upon opening. Once it’s open it’s fine, but lags terribly in the beginning. Once it’s finally running I’ve done what I’ve come to do and I’m ready to close
  10. [R16] Consumers Credit Union 1/5 · US Last Update Is Terrible: The last update slowed the response time of this App significantly. Now when the app is launched you have to wait for an advertisement to load. Then you have to click off the ad and wait again for the app to respond. Super annoying! It’s bad enough that I’m contemplating switching financial services to another company.
  11. [R36] Consumers Credit Union 3/5 · US Slow and outdated: Take forever to log in sometimes no matter what your connection is. I’ll sit there for a few minutes sometimes just watching it load.
  12. [R4] Consumers Credit Union 2/5 · US My money: I should not be charged $10.00 if you already know that money is there if I need that early deposit, I’m retired and need every penny I can keep !
  13. [R22] Consumers Credit Union 1/5 · US Disappointing App and Inactive Account Fee - Looking for Alternatives: It is baffling that a financial institution of your reputation cannot provide a stable and user-friendly app for its customers- especially as something as simple as mobile deposit. I was shocked to discover that the bank charges a monthly fee of $10 for inactive accounts. This policy seems predatory and designed to take advanta
  14. [R32] Consumers Credit Union 5/5 · US Perks: Kinda just an idea you should have it to where people pay a $5 fee to get paid early when they’re check is pending just a idea my last credit union had it
  15. [R50] Consumers Credit Union 1/5 · US They changed the whole app: They changed the whole format and tried to make it pretty. They did this before and got ride of external deposit from other accounts. I haven’t been able to E deposit a check ever since. I kept giving me an error. Then they hit me with $30 return check fee. It wasn’t broke before. Don’t fix it Now it’s all broken
  16. [R2] Consumers Credit Union 5/5 · US Review: Good people
  17. [R5] Consumers Credit Union 5/5 · US Best bank ever: Best service ,best plans,an best customer service ever !
  18. [R8] Consumers Credit Union 5/5 · US Great credit union: I love Consumer’s Credit Union. They always give me the best service.
  19. [R24] Consumers Credit Union 3/5 · US Got Rid of Great Features, UX much poorer: When we switched from a big bank to CCU their app was one of the highlights of the switch. The widget that allowed me to view my balance without opening the app was one of my and my husband's favorite features. The app was also easy to navigate and had not too many features clogging it up. Unfortunately, the update has removed many of those highlights. Th
  20. [R37] Consumers Credit Union 1/5 · US Not compatible: Most apps that links to your bank account uses “Plaid” and consumers is not compatible with it. Credit boosters, payday apps, bills, etc.I like this bank but thinking about changing just for this reason.
  21. [R61] CommunityAmerica Credit Union 1/5 · US Too many bugs: Last update required to login multiple times. The current app won’t open the keyboard. This app is clunky and never smooth.
  22. [R63] CommunityAmerica Credit Union 3/5 · US App closes out after putting in password: Have to have this app because it's my bank but it's very frustrating that my app closes every single time I put in my password and enter, just immediately kicks me out of the app. It's a fine app besides this bug.
  23. [R76] CommunityAmerica Credit Union 1/5 · US Keeps closing: The apps keeps closing without fully opening. Enter login information then immediately closes. You have to try 3-7 times before it actually opens. Please fix this. It has been doing this for months. It does the same to my son that has a different phone and different wireless carrier
  24. [R79] CommunityAmerica Credit Union 1/5 · US App keeps crashing: It takes several times before I’m able to successfully open the app because as soon as I log in, it looks like it’s loading and then crashes. It’s been like this for months, and it hasn’t been fixed.
