Needs updates

I can’t even log in and no matter what it will always say my password is wrong even right after I just changed it

Constantly crashes accessing statements

Doesn’t work half the time. Statements crash or say network error. Transaction detail search is worthless. Really an antiquated app in the marketplace of online banking apps. Desperately needs an update. Last update was 4 YEARS AGO.

Alerus really needs to improve this app.

Plan to remove app and download again if you want to be able to access your account more than once a day.

Can’t even sign in

Whenever I try to sign in I get this: PreSignUp failed with error Converting circular structure to JSON --> starting at object with constructor 'ClientRequest' | property 'socket' -> object with constructor 'TLSSocket' --- property '_httpMessage' closes the circle.
I don’t know what to do and I’m getting really mad.

Alerus Mobile App

The mobile app only works as a mobile app if I restart the iPhone. Every time I open the app it wants me to log in I’m required to login as online banking Face ID doesn’t work.

Doesn’t load on the app or my laptop

Least functional app I’ve had the misfortune to come across.

Mostly non functional

Frequently cannot load & times out & makes it difficult to log back on. Pls fix this app.

Fancy - but good luck if you want something simple

The number one thing I want with a banking app is to see my check register: my deposits, debits AND my running balance. It should be on the first screen! But, no, you must go through a maze of tabs and pull-downs and half the time I still give up before finding it.
I am seriously considering changing banks because of this. The only thing holding me back is having to change all those direct payments and deposits.

Worst App Ever

You have to delete and reinstall and after each use. Very annoying, I’d give zero stars if possible.

Okay but needs a little work

I’ve been using the app for years and it is overall very useful. However, there is one bug I’d like fixed.

It appears that much of the functionality is part of a web app. If the app times out it leaves the user at a web based sign on page. This is not the initial app login page that supports Face ID.

If you use Face ID to get into the app, check your balances, then start using some other app the Alerus app times out. When you open it again, you are on the web sign in page, no Face ID available. You must actually close the app (flip it off the screen) and reopen to get to the Face ID screen. Very annoying.

Please have the app reset to the initial sign on screen when it exits or times out!

Worst App I have to deal with

To access my account, I have to delete and reinstall the app each time. Facial recognition does not always work, and I had two checks rejected using the deposit function.

As you can see from the overall score, this is a very poor app and Alerus does nothing to improve it.

Lol

Worst app on my phone……. I can never trust or rely on it for accuracy. Thinking about leaving Alerus entirely as I need to have consistent app access and this is just not it.

Worst banking app I’ve used

I know what online banking platform they are using and it is a great platform. However, whatever customizations and add-on products they have added to this make it horrible. The balances display incorrect, you cannot use a password keeper to populate your username and password - it always clears the username.

The PFM tool would be great if it was not the first thing you see. Yes managing your accounts from one spot is nice, but it also gives Alerus access to all that information also.

Bring the app back to its basics and they would have a fine product, instead they just have a junk product we all have to suffer through.

App is okay when it works but..

Keeping it simple, out of the several months I have kept this app (so I can try to log in), I was successful only ONE time.

The app is basic but works well enough to let you see your balances.

It’s amazing that in this day and age in 2022 an app can be so incredibly shotty for such a company serving such an important need.

Terrible Internet and Mobile Banking

Constant processing errors when logging in. The interface is pretty much unusable.
Everything is overlapping and is a pain to look at and navigate. Only good for checking your balance IF you can get that to pop up and show your current balance. And the transaction history is all over the place. Sorry to say, but honestly, they need to replace whoever is working on these systems and get some people who know how to run apps and websites. Absolutely awful user experience I have experienced in ANY app.

One Fix Needed….

App is great, but one fix is needed for an issue that has been around for awhile now — when the app automatically logs a user out it doesn’t give them the option to log back in with Face ID; it brings users to a website-ish, manual login page. Temporary fix is to force close the app and reopen.

Frequent Login Difficulty

The frequent inability to login is very tiring.

Garbage app

Can’t log in with the exact same username and password that works on the website. Don’t even bother with this.

Garbage

Couldn’t access my account through the web so decided to try the app. This does not work either. Alerus is complete garbage.

Upset

I was so happy to have this app when I first got my bank account through Alerus Financial. But for the last year about, it has not worked for me. I called a couple times to get it fixed, they said they fixed it but they hadn’t. Every time I try to login it says it is an invalid username etc… But it is my correct username and password. I had them change it for me even, and still did not work. Really wish it still did.
