  1. [R6] SC Federal Credit Union 3/5 · US Old app better: Moves very slow. Very slow. I would like to be able to rearrange my accounts. I make a lot of internal transfers.
  2. [R7] SC Federal Credit Union 1/5 · US Terrible: Things forget my login and passwords, let alone my Face ID. Not sure why I have to on my 12.9” IPad I have to view everything in portrait? I’m sticking to online banking via this till someone figures out a better way. Not worth it.
  3. [R21] SC Federal Credit Union 3/5 · US Buttons: This app has too many buttons.
  4. [R27] SC Federal Credit Union 3/5 · US Some things are better left unchanged.: I wonder if the developers have used the app on an IOS device like a mini iPad. The font is tiny, & when I tried to log in, the log in page is loaded vertically, like it’s geared for the phone. It will not work horizontally like it did BEFORE. So I’m trying to log in vertically & when the keyboard comes up, it’s in the horizontal position, thus blocking the
  5. [R4] SC Federal Credit Union 1/5 · US Difficult: I have had so much trouble logging into my Account. I have had to change my password twice. One problem is when you enter your password the first time they don't allow you to see what you're entering. I am going to try one more time to get into my account with the third password. I can only hope that it will work
  6. [R12] SC Federal Credit Union 3/5 · US Bring back dark mode: I have biometrics turned on and it still won’t ever log me in with my Face ID. Please fix!
  7. [R13] SC Federal Credit Union 1/5 · US Log in issues: The app is very inconsistent. I can’t tell a rhyme or reason why, but sometimes it will let me log in and other times it won’t, even with repeated attempts. I go through the 2-factor authentication then it just takes me right back to the log in screen. This update was a step back.
  8. [R28] SC Federal Credit Union 1/5 · US mobile app: Since the update to the banking system, my app doesn’t update very well and it always shows more money in my account than what’s in, so I cannot rely on it🫤
  9. [R30] SC Federal Credit Union 3/5 · US too slow. change it back.: this new update is garbage. i’ve been using the app for at least 6 years and it has never been SO SLOW. does it still do the job? sure, if you wanted the job done poorly. there’s too much going on, you can’t turn on dark mode, one tap takes a whopping 5 seconds to process, and everything is a nightmare.
  10. [R31] SC Federal Credit Union 1/5 · US New update: New update is soooooo slow, and makes me send codes to my phone every time I need to get into the app. It’s literally the worst update. The old one was definitely better and easier to manage on.
  11. [R9] SC Federal Credit Union 3/5 · US Bill pay: Bill pay is not working properly. I've tried several times to set up billpay to send payment to South State Bank cant get it to load. Now bill pay wont even pull up.
  12. [R18] SC Federal Credit Union 3/5 · US Transactions: Would like to see more than 2 transactions. It would be nice to see last 3 months.
  13. [R23] SC Federal Credit Union 5/5 · US Deposits: This Credit Union is making things easier for us to do. Such as depositing your check, you don’t have to take it to the bank. You don’t have to give it to the teller. You don’t have to use the machine deposit your check take two pictures. And done that easy that’s great.
  14. [R1] SC Federal Credit Union 1/5 · US Terrible: The app is almost as bad as the customer service.
  15. [R3] SC Federal Credit Union 3/5 · US Fees: Too many! This bank has more fees than others and needs to help their clients instead of hurting them.
  16. [R10] SC Federal Credit Union 2/5 · US Customer satisfaction: Tamia was and always is very helpful and patient
  17. [R11] SC Federal Credit Union 5/5 · US Great Servi e: Great Service
  18. [R16] SC Federal Credit Union 2/5 · US New Update is horrible: Ever since the new update I can’t even log in more than half the time. It scans my face but never leaves the login page. I hate when you click on your credit card it takes you to all your cards and your debit card pops up first. You have to swipe to get to the card you need even though that’s the account you originally clicked on. It’s confusing.
  19. [R34] SC Federal Credit Union 1/5 · US None: Biometrics do not work
  20. [R72] MySCU Mobile 1/5 · US Mobile deposits not compatible with iOS 16: Ever since updating to iOS 16, the mobile deposits feature on the app does not work. It tells me to rotate my screen, but does nothing when I do. Please fix! Very inconvenient to have to go to a branch for check deposits with very few branch locations.
  21. [R101] MySCU Mobile 5/5 · US Mobile deposit: The app bank is good but the mobile deposit is take too long before accepted
  22. [R66] MySCU Mobile 3/5 · US Zelle: The Zelle pay is not working now.
  23. [R106] MySCU Mobile 5/5 · US Zelle: The site is good, can be a little slow but over all I am able to use. I hope SCSCU get ZELLE soon.
  24. [R109] MySCU Mobile 5/5 · US customer service: Lots of it, I wish they had venmo or zelle applications. because none of my family live here and if they need something I want to get it to them quickly. I came from a big bank environment and they don’t appreciate my business but your bank does❗️🥰❗️💋💝
