### 1/5 — Hate this app, almost as much as the bank

*2026-06-05, version 1.0.250801*

This app does not work, and the bank themselves have had me remake my account 3 times just for nothing to change, then if your a hard working person like myself who works a 9-6 your kinda sol because there is no 24 hour service line so with this bank I just got to hope they do there job and get stuff sorted out, but if they have too hard of a time to do that even

### 1/5 — This app doesn’t work

*2026-03-29, version 1.0.250801*

I opened up an Alerus banking account and everything went good, no problems whatsoever I wait for my card to arrive and everything but then when I try to enroll an Alerus account, NOTHING works, I can’t login because I don’t have an account but then it won’t let me enroll because I have an account, I sit here for 2 hours a day trying to fix my app and calling people to be hit with a “password tries exceeded” and then I think to myself I’m going to go run into a tree, Alerus fix your app

### 5/5 — Great banking experience

*2026-01-23, version 1.0.250801*

Love the layout & easy transfer options!

### 1/5 — Awful

*2026-01-20, version 1.0.250801*

I’m switching banks because this app is so bad. I’ve lost track of how long I’ve spent talking to “customer service” trying to fix recurring problems. Save yourself the headache and find a different bank

### 1/5 — Not good

*2025-12-25, version 1.0.250801*

I do not like the new app. I liked the bank and the app much better before Alerus. Getting set up was too confusing, especially trying to enroll Face ID. I also don’t like the new homepage. I preferred when the app opened straight to my accounts instead of having to scroll to find what I need.

### 1/5 — Not User Friendly!

*2025-12-22, version 1.0.250801*

Cannot see checks written to whom and balance throughout the month of transactions coming through. This is horrible! Home Federal Bank had a much better app!!

### 1/5 — Bad App

*2025-12-15, version 1.0.250801*

I have yet to get this app to open when I click on it. I have to delete and re add it each time to get it to work. Going to just log in on line.

### 1/5 — Never works

*2025-12-08, version 1.0.250801*

I just opened an account at this bank. My first day I got logged into the app, but that was it. I try multiple times a day with zero luck! Extremely frustrating!

### 1/5 — Can never login

*2025-12-04, version 1.0.250801*

I thought I would give this app another try to see if the issues have been solved. Nope still can’t log in. Why can’t you fix this? I literally see everyone complaining about it. The app is useless.

### 1/5 — Can’t get pass the login

*2025-11-18, version 1.0.250801*

Can’t get pass the login and I know  have everything correct. It won’t sent me a code via email but will lock my account. How am I going to pay my bills???????
