### 2/5 — SLOW

*2026-01-13, version 25.2.101.1*

This app literally takes forever to load no matter if I am connected to wifi or have full service. It’s very inconvenient, if my bank wasn’t tied to it I would delete it immediately.

### 4/5 — Experian Boost

*2025-12-30, version 25.2.101.1*

GFA used to on Experian Boost but took it down. We need to switch banks now due to this. A few people I know already have. It’s a shame.

### 2/5 — terrible.

*2025-06-23, version 25.1.101.1*

At first it was fine, that was around a month ago. Since then, the app keeps saying it's having trouble, not just on my phone, but my siblings and parents as well. Even some of my coworkers say its's happening. Another HUGE issue is I can't deposit a check. I'll put my check on the darkest background I have (ex. black-brown table) and it says it's not dark enough. I've tried grabbing a black pillow case and putting it on the table to see if that works and it says the same thing. I thought it was maybe js me so I had someone else try it for me and it still didn't work. This is super annoying and overall disappointing from a bank company app.

### 2/5 — Slow and too many errors

*2024-07-27, version 24.2.0.1*

This version is much slower and too often can’t login.

### 2/5 — New app appearance

*2023-12-14, version 11.4.1.1*

Not very happy with the new app appearance would’ve just left things as this is a third time that they’ve changed the app appearance. Just want to get used to it. They change everything around.

### 2/5 — Please make more user friendly

*2022-02-16, version 10.6.0.1*

Now I can’t even find out if my checks have been deposited.
It seems like the app is more for advertising now than for
customer support?

### 5/5 — Great

*2014-09-09, version 3.0.0.100*

Easy to use and now I can easily pay my bills right from my phone.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2014-09-09, version 3.0.0.100*

The new and improved GFA mobile banking app is better than ever! Quick and easy to use and syncs up nicely with their main website!

### 5/5 — GFA app!

*2012-10-23, version 1.0.0.0*

Now just need to add in that bill pay option! :)

### 5/5 — Gfafcu app

*2012-05-05, version 1.0.0.0*

Love it! Now if I could make payments...

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Hours

*2026-01-12, version 25.2.101.1*

Rutland reduced hours is horrible

### 1/5 — New Version

*2023-12-14, version 11.4.1.1*

I do not like this new version. It is inferior to the previous version and appears to be change for change’s sake. Bring back the old version.

### 1/5 — Zero reason to bank here

*2023-11-24, version 11.4.0.1*

Had an account with the local Credit Union acquired by GFA for decades, will be closing this account as soon as my direct deposits are moved to a new savings account. Garbage interest rate and lousy customer service via online, phone, and in person.

### 1/5 — Constant problems

*2022-10-05, version 10.6.0.1*

Identity verification is a good idea, but it has to WORK.  

Everything has a one-mistake-then-forbidden policy, and the only solution for EVERYTHING is “call customer service”. In other words, the app is total crap, just call… which by the way is only during banker hours so I hope you don’t have a job or anything.

It’s one thing if a game app doesn’t work, but dammit my BANK app REALLY needs to function properly!  They should be ashamed of this mess.

### 1/5 — Font is tiny & app does not support dynamic type font phone settings

*2021-06-25, version 10.6.0.1*

There has to be a better way for this app to be more readable. The option to look at accounts though the menu option does give a slightly different view w/greater spacing & 2 colors, but the inability to increase the font size is frustrating.  I would expect that the “customize” setting would have allowed this, yet not the case. 

Accessibility means more than what I think this latest “upgrade” gives.

### 1/5 — Horrible platform

*2021-03-12, version 9.2.2.1*

Barely functioning mobile app.

### 1/5 — Worst IU I’ve ever witnessed

*2021-01-30, version 9.2.2.1*

This app reminds me of websites from the early 2000s. It’s quite embarrassing to say the least. It really needs a complete makeover. It crashes so much for me and never remembers my user ID so I have to completely sign in over and over again. It’s very useless. It’s a shame because with the ongoing pandemic right now, this app would really help tremendously with transactions and whatnot. I’m very ashamed to be with GFA because of this app.

### 1/5 — Used to work fine, but something went wrong

*2020-11-26, version 9.2.2.1*

This app used was very accessible for a long time, but now it’s stuck on the loading screen and you can’t access anything. It’s very unfortunate that I can’t check my balance or transfer money through the app at all. Please fix this

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work.

*2020-11-04, version 9.2.2.1*

Tried to open the app to use. I then uninstall the app thinking this would solve the problem and now I can’t even install the app.

### 1/5 — Slowest app ever

*2020-11-01, version 9.2.2.1*

Love GFA because it’s right next to my house but this app doesn’t even load. Gets stuck on the loading screen for a minimum of 5 minutes and sometimes never opens, stupid that I can’t even check my balance because of this app

**Developer response:** Hello, please be sure to update your GFA app for the best mobile experience!

### 5/5 — Joanne Broberg

*2025-12-23, version 25.2.101.1*

Family … that’s what you instantly think of when banking with Gfa you feel safe and confident and secure just as you would with the family.

### 5/5 — GFA

*2025-08-30, version 25.2.101.1*

I have been with GFA since they 1st opened . Had an incident my entire account info was stolen in Hawaii. GFA stopped all transactions. And refunded what was stolen ! Great service always .

### 5/5 — Easy

*2025-05-28, version 25.1.101.1*

There’s not many things in this crazy hectic world that makes my life a bit easier than my online banking with GFA!

### 5/5 — gfeea

*2024-01-13, version 11.4.1.1*

i love it

### 5/5 — New Web page works great.

*2023-12-19, version 11.4.1.1*

The new web page works great. You fixed a lot of the small problems on the old system Easy to use. Thank you

### 5/5 — On line vinegg

*2023-12-16, version 11.4.1.1*

Don’t like new banking online

### 5/5 — Does what it’s supposed to

*2023-03-08, version 11.4.0.1*

So far so good. Been using the app for almost two years and haven’t had any issues. Thumbs up

### 5/5 — App stopped working

*2020-11-20, version 9.2.2.1*

I’ve used this app for the last 6 years and it has worked very well. Over the last two weeks, it has become very slow and when it does finally open, you can’t access any of the features. Something has gone terribly wrong and this needs to be fixed.

### 5/5 — Awesome!!!!

*2016-01-03, version 7.3.0.1*

I love how easy it is to get access to my accounts. The mobile deposit is so easy to use. Also the ability to pay my bills via bill pay is awesome. I can pay them anywhere.

### 5/5 — New Mobile APP

*2014-09-09, version 3.0.0.100*

Great move GFA-love the fact that my online banking ID and password are the same as what I use for my mobile banking. The additional features of making transfers and pay my bills on my phone is a step in the right direction. I cannot wait for mobile or not deposit, keep up the improvements
