Leave a Review Sallie Mae® Banking
Sheesh!
I'm really tired of idiots bashing the app because it doesn't service student loans. To those morons I would suggest that their education failed them greatly since they apparently can't read. Also, to the numbnuts who have boldly stated that more people do loans than bank through Sallie Mae, again, your education has failed you. Sallie Mae has some of the best interest rates, has for a while, and plenty of people bank with them. Those mentioned above are what is wrong with America today, completely lacking in responsibility and accountability. If you don't read the description, it is hardly fair to blame the app. If you did read the description, then why would you believe the app would be capable of more than it states? Grow up people. Review the app in the merits of its description, not your own assertions.
App does what it says. I have yet to have a banking app that is completely full featured and hassle free. This one is basic, but basic gets it done.Show lessMettle Mama

I mostly use my Sallie Mae savings as a place to keep money separate from my main accounts at another bank. Since I can't transfer between outside accounts, makes app just a simple viewer for me. I can look at my account balance but that's it.
Also pretty bad when you have to read the reviews of an app to figure out how to use it. I kept getting the connection error until other reviewers told me how to get logged in.Show lessCalypso1212
Works as advertised, better than using the website
For those having connection issues, you must first log into your account on the website and sign up for mobile account access. You will then have to verify your phone, for security reasons. After that, you will be able to log into this app.
It works well for me, especially the check deposit via image function. I can transfer money on the go and check my balance. All the necessities are right here.Show lessTheJohnus
Kinda works
I had the same problem as the other person who cold not log in. I guessed that I had to enable myself for mobile banking on sallie mae's website first, which solved the issue but it was not at all obvious from the app - in fact the error message is very misleading.
I was able to deposit one check. Trying to deposit the second check resulted in a message that I am over a threshold. I am not sure if that's a real problem or not as the two checks combined add up to around 500 bucks.
Also - once I was blocked at not being able to deposit because of the threshold, the app got stuck (ie I could not hit any of the buttons along the bottom, the only thing that worked was the button to retry depositing)
Anyway I am giving 3 stars because at the end of the day I was able to get my one check deposited which was more convenient than going to the ATM, but the software is far from good.Show lessXyzelement
Works perfect!
The app does exactly as it is supposed to do based on the description of the app. It is a very robust mobile banking app. It is not intended for student loans.
You are able to check account balances, deposit checks, transfer money, and setup account alerts.Greendisease23
One more student requesting PLEASE ADD LOAN SUPPORT!
Just let me point out one little inconsistency.
Of all of Sallimae customers, what age group is most likely to have an iPhone and want to do their banking with an iPhone?
ANSWER
Students!
So, really, you choose to exclude them from your first iPhone banking app???
Oh but wait, it's probably because some bright office lackey thought to themselves, "we already have their money, so why build them an app, let's build an app to try to attract more banking customers.
Your mistake is that all those students are going to get jobs soon and they're going to start banking. If you make them a great app that makes it really easy for them to pay their student loans, they'll want to have all their banking in the same place.
Anyway, just some thoughts. I hope you add functionality for loan payment soon.Show lessEmergencyFiddle
Idiots!
All those saying it doesn't work with student loans, your loans were obviously a wasted investment since you can't read or comprehend simple instructions! The first line on app description clearly says, this app is for banking side only and DOES NOT work with student loans YET!Mundes77
Works alright..
Seemed a little odd as you have to enroll in mobile banking (which I thought was just SMS banking) before app will let you in. App complained about connection issues till I did that.
No ability to transfer from/to external accounts but overall an ok app to check balances, transaction history.
4 stars as it's about as good as other bank apps... Nothing too fancy bit hood :)Show lessDJGoodies
