Spam messages

This is an app that you need in order to log in to your UBS account and to authorise credit card payments. But UBS have started using it for spam and I am getting marketing related notifications like completing surveys. This is unacceptable.

Terrible interface

Screen prompts are unintuitive. Requests and completions of actions are inconsistent.

50/50

Half the time the camera works perfectly in the access app, half the time it takes 10 minutes of moving the phone, shifting the laptop screen, lighting changes before it can tead the qr code.

Response from developer

Hello. Thank you for your feedback and please excuse us for the inconvenience. Should you have issues scanning QR codes, please try to scan from a small distance and gradually increase the distance. This should generally work. Should you continue to have problems, you can always contact us at sh-access-feedback@ubs.com. Best, your UBS Team.

Terrible way to conduct e-business

After only TWO attempts at entering a PIN (which is only provided on a piece of paper) the app completely locked me out of mobile and online banking. No way to recover the account through email or text. I received a text that fraud was attempted, even though it was me!!!!, and that a replacement PIN would be MAILED TO ME. An absolutely abysmal process for the 21st century.

Awful Applications and Costumer Service

The application often glitches and logs you out when it updates. If this happens on your only UBS Access enabled device then you have no way of signing in. This new login process requires that they send you a new pin via paper mail. If you try to contact costumer support to ask for help (because you need to make a payment on short notice) they will tell you there is nothing they can do to help you. As with most customer service in Switzerland they will charge you calling the help desk.

Response from developer

Hello. Thank you for your feedback and please excuse us for the inconvenience. Please note that this is a technical issue and not the usual procedure and that our team is already working to find a solution as quickly as possible 🛠️. In the meantime, please reactivate the Access app using an activation code. The problem should then be solved for you. If you still have an Access Card, you can also use that to log in. Should you still have any issues or questions, please contact us at sh-access-feedback@ubs.com 👷. Best, your UBS Team.

Difficult start, now ok to use

At the beginning, it was very difficult, factory requires an IT person from UBS to work their way through this to iron out the difficulties
We did find very helpful, even though it was somewhat protracted, now six months later, it’s a very easy to use app gives you easy access to your balance account,
One thing that doesn’t work well he’s trying to import data from two different countries without closing the app, reopening it and starting again apart from that very good

Unacceptable

UBS updated the access version which is only compatible with devices having IOS 13. I had Access app on iPad mini which only can support up to IOS 12. Therefore. Could not update to new version, could not access bank account to pay bills. Was travelling so no access to local Branch. Support at digital hotline was useless- kept saying sorry, sorry . Their suggestion was go to apple store and try to get technician to force update on my iPad - despite all forums including Apple saying this is not possible. If I could select less than one star then I would
