  1. [R1] CFCU Community Credit Union 2/5 · US Very inconsistent: I have to delete the app once a month as it logs me out and doesn't recognize me. The deposit check feature via online check photo system has never worked. This app is only good to check balances with and that's about it. Needs a lot of work.
  2. [R9] CFCU Community Credit Union 3/5 · US Mobile check deposit bug: The camera orientation and the phone orientation appear to be opposite with this latest update making it very difficult to align a check to take a picture
  3. [R12] CFCU Community Credit Union 3/5 · US It’s functional: The app does what I need it to do, but would be better if it were more user friendly and also had Face ID.
  4. [R15] CFCU Community Credit Union 3/5 · US It’s OK: This app isn’t great, but it gets the job done. It usually works but I have had it refuse to log me in. I wish the app had all the features available with online banking like changing address information. I’ve also NEVER had anyone respond when I’ve submitted questions with the app which is extremely disappointing since no one answers when I call a bank itself. All around, it’ll do the jo
  5. [R4] CFCU Community Credit Union 1/5 · US Issues: The app will not rotate to accommodate the Landscape display of an iPad.
  6. [R16] CFCU Community Credit Union 2/5 · US Need landscape view: Need app to provide landscape view
  7. [R22] CFCU Community Credit Union 2/5 · US Another terrible update.: Worst UI of any banking app. Literally moving people away from CFCU.
  8. [R28] CFCU Community Credit Union 2/5 · US Update: Better Useless; Barely: The app continues to be a sore point in my CFCU experience. They need someone to fix the UI cause it looks like a middle school project, and only barely functions better than one.
  9. [R7] CFCU Community Credit Union 2/5 · US Repeated issues: This app doesn’t work about half the time I go to use it. Either the Face ID doesn’t work or the screen is completely blank. It’s so inconsistent that I changed my primary bank to one that has a functional app.
  10. [R10] CFCU Community Credit Union 2/5 · US CFCU App: The app is the most miserable app I’ve ever used. Most times it does not like my password and I’m forced to change to be able to use it. Because of this I have thought several time about changing banks. Nickname in the review is just as bad as trying to sign into my account.
  11. [R13] CFCU Community Credit Union 1/5 · US Terrible IT: Often need to change password as Face ID stops working and don’t have password handy. Goes down more than any other banking app I use. The system goes down. Upgrades take a week instead of hours in past. Only keep because I’ve been customer for decades and fees are low.
  12. [R24] CFCU Community Credit Union 1/5 · US Terrible: Having two apps is terrible. The + app is sideways on my iPad. A check wasn’t issued to my vendor Discover. I had it set up to pay off in full every month. Now when I get the bill there is $50+ in interest even though I’m paying it in full. You cost me money & I’m thinking of moving to a new bank.
  13. [R65] CFCU Mobile 5/5 · US Me encanta: Excelente Federal Credit Union. Excelentes intereses para cualquier préstamo, su personal siempre es amable
  14. [R98] CFCU Mobile 5/5 · US Engineer: I made a mistake by moving The money in wrong account and get a fee . However when i talk to the staff they are very nice and professionally help me out with details explanation and even better they can reverse the fee for me. This is the best bank I ever deal with
  15. [R69] CFCU Mobile 3/5 · US Wanamaker location: Great service Nice people always willing to help you!!
  16. [R74] CFCU Mobile 5/5 · US Outstanding: Great service
  17. [R82] CFCU Mobile 1/5 · US Keeps force closing: After the last update - it keeps force closing! Soooo frustrating. I have the latest update on everything. Tried to go to the website and it lists an old phone number so I can’t get in that way. Every time I call I’m on hold. I can’t wait to pay off this car so I don’t have to deal with this bank ever again :(
  18. [R17] CFCU Community Credit Union 4/5 · US Doesn’t do face recognition: Works great except that it has never managed to get face recognition right
  19. [R27] CFCU Community Credit Union 4/5 · US Deposits & Camera: Whrn taking a picture of the check for deposit, I wish the camera could take the picture automatically when the check was in focus rather than having to tap the screen to take the photo. Thanks!
  20. [R32] CFCU Community Credit Union 1/5 · US App trouble: Over the last few months I have been having trouble with my CFCU app. I use it mainly to deposit checks through mobile deposit. I have had to change my user name and then passwords nearly every time I need to log in and make a deposit. This was not the case until the last app update. Please fix. ❤️
  21. [R14] CFCU Community Credit Union 4/5 · US Works well… when it doesn’t need you to do a system update.: That’s it
  22. [R67] CFCU Mobile 1/5 · US Never works: This app never loads when needed. Worse off, they CONSTANTLY due maintenance during normal hours and not over night when no one uses it. GREAT credit union, app is trash.
  23. [R73] CFCU Mobile 2/5 · US Why is it always under maintenance?: The bank itself is great, and I never have to worry about my bills being paid on time, however, constantly, the app is under maintenance. Every two to three weeks, I cannot access my money for the entire day and it is incredibly frustrating. Please, figure it out.
