## Newest reviews (13 of 75)

### 2/5 — How do I search for payees now??

*2025-08-13, version 6.0.1*

Update has taken away ability to search for saved payees.Highly annoying to have to scroll & scroll

### 2/5 — Old app better

*2025-07-25, version 6.0.1*

New app looks awful on some phones and simple functions like your credit only transactions is not available any more you have to physically search for credits you have amongst all the other transactions. Not simple, more difficult. Not a fan of the new app. As a bank it is very unprofessional.

### 2/5 — Search for an account?

*2025-07-25, version 6.0.1*

Why can we no longer search for an account to send/transfer funds to? Now I am required to scroll down through the whole list of accounts alphabetically?  What sort of update feature was this?!

### 2/5 — Outdated

*2025-07-25, version 6.0.1*

I can’t believe a banking app doesn’t use Face ID to open. I thought the days of remembering passwords etc were behind us. Very clunky, almost MS DOS like

### 2/5 — Still doesn’t display in landscape

*2025-07-24, version 6.0.1*

The app now appears in landscape on iPad but the dot pattern is too big and can’t be viewed unless you go back to portrait

### 1/5 — New app

*2025-04-29, version 6.0.0*

This latest app update crashes every time I open the app. I can’t get past the Face ID page. Come on BankVic…?

### 1/5 — Bugged for many months

*2025-04-02, version 3.0.8*

Guys this app hardly gets past the load screen, maybe 1 in 10 tries it might login for me.  This has been going on for about a year now and has made banking impossible.  I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled to no improvement and hoped a fix would have come around a long time ago.

### 1/5 — Low Rating says it all

*2024-12-20, version 3.0.8*

This app offers a fraction of what if it’s  competitors offer. My question is how can such a basic banking app be so prone to failure?

### 1/5 — BankVic App

*2024-12-10, version 3.0.8*

Always failing. Have deleted and downloaded several times.

### 1/5 — Honestly not good

*2024-11-24, version 3.0.8*

It’s chunky it’s blocky it’s too simple and yet not simple enough it’s just bad no way to check or sum up your spendings which might be the banks fault I’m not sure but it’s just empty

### 1/5 — It doesn’t support iOS 18

*2024-10-31, version 3.0.7*

It doesn’t work and doesn’t even open on iPhones using iOS 18

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work 90% of the time

*2024-07-15, version 3.0.7*

Very frustrating to use.  Hardly ever opens first try.  Often have to close every app on phone for this to work then sometimes it still doesn’t work.  Makes checking balances very hard.

### 1/5 — Always a new problem

*2024-07-03, version 3.0.7*

Still unable to access the app following the new software update for apple. No details for personal payees are saved on the desktop site where recapture is a nightmare. Time to make the switch to a new bank.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2026-01-04, version 6.1.1*

I got a new phone and now i can’t login to the app at all, only via the browser.

### 1/5 — Move out of the 90’s

*2025-09-05, version 6.0.1*

As a long term customer I would recommend against Bank Vic. The app is pretty much turn of the century technology with little flexibility and very few (if any) options to manage your money. Don’t get me started on customer service from senior management.

### 1/5 — Won’t download

*2025-08-08, version 6.0.1*

The app wouldn’t open, and then when I tried to reload it still wouldn’t load.

### 1/5 — Dodgy search function

*2025-08-06, version 6.0.1*

Have to scroll the payee list rather than use a search function

### 1/5 — Security Concern

*2025-07-26, version 6.0.1*

I don’t know about you but I don’t think my opening balance should be displayed before I even log into the app. Seems a bit sus that without any form of login someone could see the opening balance. Also make the BSB and Account details more readily accessible.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2025-06-11, version 6.0.1*

The app is clunky and never works properly

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2025-06-05, version 6.0.1*

Been using the app for only a day and it’s already making me wish I didn’t switch. Basic functionality is missing which is completely unacceptable. Some of the many issues are:

Account details eg bsb and account number not readily viewable, having to go into sub menus. 
No notification of many transactions eg being paid via payID
Need to call them in order to set up card and Apple Pay in wallet
The app itself has a low frame rate/poor performance
For the life of me I cannot find where you can set payment limits
And the biggest sin, no dark mode 

Come on guys, this is ridiculous. I’m sure there are many other issues I haven’t had the joy of discovering yet.

Do better.

### 1/5 — NOT WORKING

*2025-05-27, version 6.0.0*

Since the last update, the app no longer works on my iPhone. I have deleted and reinstalled the app but it still refuses to work. What a complete nightmare.

### 1/5 — New app from bad to worse!

*2025-05-19, version 6.0.0*

Who designs such bad apps?? The logo is pixelated, the graphics are terrible and there way too many steps to do basic things and I still can’t find my BSB details. Does not need to be this complicated!

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2025-05-18, version 6.0.0*

Always having issues logging in. Updated format of the app looks cheap & is so basic it doesn’t perform correctly. I give up. Back to internet banking for me

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Please fix this

*2025-09-08, version 6.0.1*

Ever since the new update it’s been a bit slow and laggy especially when logging into the app and doing transactions so really that’s all that needs to be fixed at the moment

### 5/5 — Great App

*2025-07-30, version 6.0.1*

I dont find anything wrong with the app. I get into my account, its simple and easy to use and protecting of your details. I love the app.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2025-07-25, version 6.0.1*

I don’t understand why there’s negative comments. I find the Bank Vic app to be very easy to follow and use. No unnecessary stuff just useful info and very easy to navigate. Don’t know how it could be improved. Well done and thanks from a member from the 1980’s. 👍😀

### 5/5 — New update

*2025-05-04, version 6.0.0*

The app redesign is so much better now I can acsess setting you would usually have to on the website

### 5/5 — Love the update

*2025-04-28, version 6.0.0*

The new design looks great and the app feels much easier to use. Everything is faster and more intuitive. Really happy with the update!

### 5/5 — New version of the app

*2025-04-28, version 6.0.0*

A nice facelift to a perfectly functional app. It does all the basics of a banking app without any bloat. Looking forward to more features being rolled out.

### 5/5 — Great so far

*2022-04-03, version 3.0.5*

Been waiting for the new app and finally it has arrived. Great new features and all working perfectly so far. 
Thank you the new features are great and make things much easier.

### 4/5 — Better!

*2022-04-04, version 3.0.5*

Better. But it should still have BSB/Account number details available.

### 4/5 — Transferring between accounts

*2022-04-02, version 3.0.5*

Hello, when transferring money between accounts can you put the name of account ie everyday, saver, salary package etc? New app only has account number and name which makes it difficult to transfer between accounts safely. Thanks

### 3/5 — Account Number hard to find

*2025-10-17, version 6.1.1*

This app has always been a bit annoying but you learn to deal with it. The most annoying thing though, is that finding your account number (not member number) is IMPOSSIBLE!!!!
It used to be easy as it was at top of each sub-account with the member number but now it’s not. 

PLEASE bring it back!!!
