### 2/5 — Terrible app

*2026-07-13, version 10.00.22*

Every couple of years ELGA updates this app with TERRIBLE RESULTS!! The whole point of using an app is the ease of use. Somehow this escaped the designer of this update!! It’s NOT ROCKET SCIENCE!! You literally can’t find anything

### 4/5 — Checking

*2026-06-06, version 10.00.21*

It’d be nice to see the amount of money pending when I pay my rent on the app. So it’s not still available in my account

### 4/5 — Works

*2026-05-22, version 10.00.21*

Not sure why it has to be redesigned. But it works fine.

### 4/5 — it’s solid

*2026-03-25, version 10.00.20*

ui is kinda wonk but it does the job

### 4/5 — Happy member

*2026-03-14, version 10.00.19*

I am pleased with all of the employees at the branches I go to. They’re always friendly and very friendly

### 2/5 — Meh

*2026-02-05, version 10.00.18*

Can I opt out the otp to send my wife and kids money without having to wait for a passcode that may or may not come when I need it to?

### 5/5 — Works great

*2026-01-21, version 10.00.18*

Thumbs up

### 2/5 — Require Plaid, which monitors your data in perpetuity

*2026-01-07, version 10.00.18*

The roll-out was messy. The app got better and it's okay to use, but MUCH MORE CONVOLUTED than before.

To transfer money to any outside account, you have to authorize Plaid. They do NOT give you the option to add the account even via Plaid through a 2-deposit method. Look at their privacy policy on Plaid. They track every purchase/transaction on every connected account IN PERPETUITY. This also means if your CU or Bank doesn't use Plaid, you cannot add them. 

This is on the verge of a deal-breaker for me. 

You could turn on the feature in Plaid, but you won't. ElGa, you are doing a disservice to years-loyal customers and supporting a surveillance state where all my transactions are sold to the highest bidder. Boo.

### 5/5 — App

*2025-12-24, version 10.00.18*

I love the new app

### 5/5 — Finally love it!

*2025-12-05, version 10.00.16*

Change is hard and it took AWHILE for me to actually give the new app a chance but I can say I finally LOVE it and I see why ELGA changed it!

### 3/5 — New app

*2025-12-05, version 10.00.16*

I like elga but I am not a fan of the recent app update. It was more user friendly before.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Worst bank app

*2026-07-16, version 10.00.22*

Customer service is terrible and the app is terrible and lacks features previously available and it’s extremely confusing to use

### 1/5 — Half of these reviews are about the bank itself, not the app. Listen to your customers about the app

*2026-07-10, version 10.00.22*

The banking experience is very clustered. This new design is so poor it genuinely has made me start to switch over to SoFi just to have a more information rich experience. It takes so many clicks to get anything done. Bring a new revamp or the old app back.

### 1/5 — Always down for maintenance

*2026-06-19, version 10.00.22*

Every time I go to use this app, it’s always down for maintenance. Every day it seems like, multiple times a day. It’s very annoying.

### 1/5 — 👎

*2026-04-27, version 10.00.21*

The new app is poorly laid out and not user friendly. Also I don’t want to see an elga ad every time I go to another screen.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-02-26, version 10.00.19*

Always crashes… can barely login especially at night

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2026-01-25, version 10.00.18*

The application frequently crashes immediately upon startup. While it typically succeeds on the second attempt, this recurring issue remains a significant inconvenience and should be addressed as soon as possible.

### 1/5 — The new app is miserable

*2025-12-26, version 10.00.18*

The old app took much less clicks to do what you're meant to do, pay bills, navigate loans, etc. As a marketing major, this is a poorly designed app and I wish they would revamp the old one

### 1/5 — So confusing

*2025-12-16, version 10.00.18*

I don’t understand why they had to make such a complex app. The old app was so obvious and easy to use. I feel like I am clicking a million buttons and getting nowhere. I understand changing the design to look more updated but instead it looks overwhelming. Way too many unnecessary tabs.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-12-05, version 10.00.16*

Honestly wish I could give it zero stars everyone I’ve talked too doesn’t like it, not great too navigate I miss the old app 😭

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2025-11-12, version 10.00.16*

So many glitches and time outs it’s ridiculous. 🙄
