### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-08-20, version 25.2.0*

Slow, laggy and never can use Face ID or password.

### 5/5 — Beacon is Amazing

*2026-08-20, version 25.2.0*

I have had a Beacon account since I was 9 years old. It has grown from Savings Plus, to Traditional Checking, to adding Roth IRAs. I have even bought a few cars with the help of Beacon. It has grown with me the whole time. Supporting financial literacy from middle school to post graduation of college. Now I have a family of mine own and encourage everyone to start on a foundation that can be trusted like Beacon.

### 3/5 — Take the amount out WHEN I USE CARD

*2026-07-15, version 25.2.0*

It would be nice if you guys took it out of my account when I use my card not three days later when I don't have money in there, we can put them in on the moon, but you can't get my account right the exact time that I use my card ??? then charge me a insufficient fund at 25 bucks apiece

### 1/5 — What a joke

*2025-11-26, version 25.1.2*

One of the worst banking systems I have ever been involved with. Constantly locked out especially on the weekend, the only reason still with them is because I can’t find nobody to match my interest rate on my mortgage.

### 3/5 — Fast balance

*2025-09-12, version 25.1.2*

I don’t know why, but I have an iPhone 14. I have the app. I’ve tried a lot of different things, but the fast balance works. Very little I have to keep logging in so I don’t know what’s going on with the fast balance feature it used to work fine

### 5/5 — Face ID

*2025-08-02, version 24.1.3*

It is very hard for me to figure out how to get my face ID working again.

### 5/5 — Unreliable

*2025-05-02, version 24.1.3*

Biometric forgets, signs you out and forgets your information daily, notification automatically turn off, gives an error message weekly…

Wildly unreliable. Which is the worst thing a BANKING app could be.

### 5/5 — Two Decades of Excellence

*2024-11-28, version 24.1*

Our family has banked with Beacon for more than twenty years for both personal and business. Beacon has been our go-to for auto, home and business loans, as well. The interest rates are the lowest anywhere. We’ve never had an issue with them. All inquiries, transactions, and communication is handled promptly, professionally and kindly. We highly recommend Beacon CU!

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2024-10-26, version 23.1.0*

It constantly crashes you have to log in 3 times to get it to work. Face ID never works and when it does they make change you password 2 days later negating the convenience of Face ID.

### 5/5 — Impressed

*2024-03-26, version 23.1.0*

Just transferred to my operating line the first time and it was so easy. Huge help to my cash flow. Thank you, Beacon
