### 5/5 — My bank for life

*2026-08-06, version 3.36.0*

I have NEVER had a problem at all, with anything I’ve ever done at Builtwell Bank. 
The people are absolutely precious and WANT to help if there are any questions. 
My bank for life.

### 2/5 — Transfers

*2026-07-31, version 3.36.0*

Since they updated the app, to transfer an amount you have to type it all out where as the old version you didn’t. It did it for you. Also when you transfer you have to really look at which account is shown. It blends all together now. The old version was way better. Switch it back.

### 5/5 — App

*2026-07-14, version 3.30.2*

The app is easy to use and saves me lots of time and potential headaches.

### 1/5 — Bank sucks

*2026-07-03, version 3.30.2*

Nothing but issues since Builtwell bought out our original bank.  They could not even cash a $13,000 check yesterday the day before a holiday weekend.  One of many issues!  Opened a new account at another bank yesterday. Can not wait to close this one!!

### 3/5 — Business User

*2026-06-23, version 3.30.2*

I have to turn off my wifi to use the app. I can’t use the cash management tools in the app either, only desktop.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2026-06-10, version 3.30.2*

I love being able to do everything I need to do on the app

### 5/5 — 5 star

*2026-05-28, version 3.30.2*

I love banking with builtwell theyre really helpful and the app is nice

### 1/5 — Ugh

*2026-03-15, version 3.30.2*

So. Painfully. Basic.  I need more design and more options. Too many pop-ups on every menu choice.  Balances?  Fine. Other than that?  Yikes.

### 2/5 — Bill pay

*2025-11-08, version 3.28.2*

Once you are in the Builtwell app there is no need for another security authentication to change/add/edit  a bill payee.  Very cumbersome to use face authentication to get into app then need your password to change things in bill pay.

### 1/5 — Can no longer use app.

*2025-10-31, version 3.12.0*

My phone wont update to new enough ios for the app to work. This is unacceptable.
