### 1/5 — App no longer supported

*2024-05-25*

First Merchants combined the business and personal mobile banking apps and this Business app is no longer used. This app does not inform the user when you try to use it. It just tells you your USER ID is wrong. I wasted an hour trying to make it work. Other people
had the same experience. It would be nice for the app to be updated to notify users not to use it any longer.

### 5/5 — Bank for business

*2024-03-09*

Easy to use, great service.

### 1/5 — Good luck logging in

*2024-01-24*

No matter what we do we can never log into this app. Oh my God, I hate First Merchant’s Bank. I wish they’d never bought our old bank.

### 1/5 — This app is awful

*2023-11-18*

For a bank that makes millions of dollars how do they have an app this bad. Not only do I have to log in with a physical password everytime(no face recognition) it also asks for my company ID every single time. And guess what, if you leave the app for even 10 secs to do something else, it logs you out and you have to do it all over again! Then when I’m actually in the app, my balance just doesn’t show, it’s always “N/A”. Then the employee at the bank says that their personal banking app is better, open an account and you can see your business balance there quicker. No, I’m not opening another account with you as a band aid for your awful app. Biggest joke of a banking app I’ve ever seen.

### 3/5 — Mobile deposit

*2023-08-01*

Doesn’t work well with mobile deposit when taking photo of endorsement. It takes several times to get it to go through.

### 3/5 — Too many strokes

*2023-03-24*

Our bank was purchased by First Merchants. The transition was better than expected. I only had to make two trips to our local branch to get everything up and running. The problem is key strokes required for every check deposited. 250% more for every check! As treasurer for our 501,c,3 it is a weekly reminder that I should find a new bank. Fortunately I’m retired, so I probably won’t.

### 3/5 — Good and secure…too secure sometimes

*2023-01-29, version 5.0.0.2581*

I like the double security on the app. Simple to use, but it does make it difficult to log into at times. Log in frequently so it does not go inactive. Inactivity makes it hard to get logged in when you need to.

### 5/5 — Good

*2022-10-25, version 5.0.0.2581*

Good

### 3/5 — Website

*2022-10-15, version 5.0.0.2581*
