### 1/5 — App does not work

*2026-04-24, version 3.33.0*

Every time I try to open the app it’s just the cloud background. What happened to this app?

### 1/5 — App is not working at all

*2026-04-22, version 3.33.0*

Always worked well before but now it’s just a cloud background for a few days. Please fix the app I use it constantly

### 1/5 — Not Working

*2026-04-22, version 3.33.0*

Since the last update, my app no longer works. When I launch the app, it sits on the cloud background and does nothing else. Please fix.

### 1/5 — Latest update doesn’t even allow for login

*2026-04-17, version 3.33.0*

The app has been decent enough to check balances, pay bills and individual people, and deposit checks. But the latest update (on 4/16/2026) doesn’t even show the login screen when you open the app - it’s only the background cloud image. I even checked to my phone software to make sure that’s up to date and it is. This update has rendered the app 100% useless.

### 3/5 — Load screen glitches

*2026-04-17, version 3.33.0*

Since the last update. I can’t get past the cloud background to even access my account like a previous review also stated in the comments. Please fix

### 1/5 — 3.33.0

*2026-04-16, version 3.33.0*

Ever since the latest update, I can’t access my accounts. When I open the app, it just shows the blue-sky backdrop and doesn’t even attempt to scan biometrics or let me input a pin. I live out of state and can’t bank in person, so the app is essential for me and I need this fixed soon.

### 1/5 — No longer works

*2026-04-16, version 3.33.0*

Can't get past the cloud background

### 1/5 — Unable to Open After Update

*2026-04-16, version 3.33.0*

After the recent update, I’m unable to even get to the login screen after opening the app.

### 1/5 — Newest update (version 3.33.0) unusable?????

*2026-04-15, version 3.33.0*

Just updated to the latest version which came out today, it says. April 14th 2026. The app is stuck on the cloud background like what shows as soon as you open the app. Doesn’t progress past it. Cannot login. My internet is not the issue. Software up to date. Everything else is working. It’s just the app is broken now. What’s the saying if it ain’t broke then don’t fix it????????????

### 4/5 — Great bann

*2026-03-19, version 3.27.0*

Superb people!

### 2/5 — Constant technical issues

*2026-03-11, version 3.27.0*

I’ve been banking with Busey for 5 years now but am currently in the process of switching away. I’ve had near-constant issues with their tech and it’s just becoming too much to deal with.

Issues include:
- The website and mobile app keep blocking me from performing actions like making transfers, saying I need to call into their support and verify my device. It seems to do this every time the browser cookies are cleared which is ridiculous, and I recently got a new phone so my mobile app has been lobotomized as well. Their support is only open during business hours which makes it extremely inconvenient to call in and get my account unlocked.
- On two separate back-to-back occasions, I tried to use my debit card to withdraw money from an ATM, but it told me the PIN was incorrect so I had to go into the bank and show my ID to reset the PIN. I saved the PIN in my password manager so I am confident that I was entering it correctly both times.
- I have not been able to set up Zelle, it keeps giving me a generic error message during setup. 
- I have not been able to setup passkey 2FA, it also keeps giving me a generic error. Tried multiple devices and password managers, no luck.

Every member of their staff that I’ve worked with has been extremely kind and helpful, Busey’s customer service is amazing, but I cannot recommend this bank in good faith to anyone who doesn’t operate exclusively with pen and paper.

### 2/5 — Not there yet

*2026-02-18, version 3.27.0*

While the concept and idea are good, compared to other apps for remote deposit, this one is inconsistent and falls short of being even a little convenient.  Have had to scan over and over and on some occasions had to take to back for deposit.

### 1/5 — So many issues

*2026-06-02, version 3.34.1*

Very buggy app

### 1/5 — Still Broken

*2026-06-01, version 3.34.1*

It has almost been 2-months since an update was pushed which bricked the app. This is completely unprofessional for a Bank this size and for services people depend on daily. If I can’t reliably access my accounts, then why stick around?

### 1/5 — Required update?!

*2026-05-31, version 3.27.0*

I will not update my phone because it will slow down my iPhone 14 and now I cannot access my bank information on my phone. That is ridiculous. Do some more programming to make the update work for older updates

### 1/5 — Complete Failure

*2026-05-29, version 3.34.1*

I intentionally decided not to update the app due to all of the negative reviews in April. Today I was forced to update and now just get the cloud background and app never loads. Why force an update that breaks something that’s working. Complete and unacceptable failure in the age of digital banking.

### 1/5 — unable to use app

*2026-05-11, version 3.33.0*

The app being broken and unusable for weeks is completely unacceptable.

### 1/5 — Update Error Still Not Fixed

*2026-05-07, version 3.33.0*

It’s been almost a month since the update that crashed the app and still no resolution… 🫠

### 1/5 — ???

*2026-04-29, version 3.33.0*

won’t load after last update

### 1/5 — Needs Update

*2026-04-29, version 3.33.0*

The latest update ruined the app. It’s literally just the clouds background and the login screen never loads. I have to inconvenience myself and use my laptop to access my accounts.

### 1/5 — update app

*2026-04-27, version 3.33.0*

havent been able to use app since recent update just sits on the cloud screen

### 1/5 — App has been broken for weeks

*2026-04-27, version 3.33.0*

Since early April the app doesn't load at all, just shows Busey logo. Was working perfectly fine before, beforehand 5 stars

### 5/5 — Not working

*2026-04-18, version 3.33.0*

Since the new update my Busey app does not work

### 5/5 — Michael Mora

*2026-04-15, version 3.33.0*

Best employees at the Bloomington Illinois bank on veterans and Mercer

### 5/5 — Great bank

*2026-03-27, version 3.27.0*

Busey bank is wonderful. We moved to North Carolina and  still bank with them.

### 5/5 — Excellent Service!

*2026-02-18, version 3.27.0*

I needed to deposit a check in the app but it exceeded my daily deposit limit so I messaged customer service in the app and it transferred me to Troy. He knew exactly what was needed and made it happen within minutes. Even called me back to let me know the change was made and waited on the line for me to attempt the deposit. I was able to get this taken care of without any issues. Thank you Troy and Busey Bank for the great experience!

### 5/5 — Busey Mobile

*2026-02-15, version 3.27.0*

Very easy to use and understand. Good for older customers.

### 5/5 — Love mobile banking

*2026-02-11, version 3.27.0*

I love the ease of depositing a check by taking a picture  ... no trip to the bank needed !!  I live 30 min away from the bank and absolutely love this

### 5/5 — 🥰

*2026-02-10, version 3.27.0*

Great and very easy to use 🥰

### 5/5 — The ease of Mobile Banking

*2026-02-10, version 3.27.0*

I am appreciative of Mobile Banking.  No longer do I need to go to the bank to make a deposit.  I can pay bills with just a few clicks.  Yes, I still write plenty of checks, but the Busey app allows me to stay on top of my credit card balances

### 5/5 — Best Bank

*2025-12-15, version 3.27.0*

Great app and best bank to work with.  Been a customer for over 20 years.

### 5/5 — Easy deposits

*2025-11-25, version 3.27.0*

Banking with Busey is a very positive Experience
