### 2/5 — Frustrated

*2026-01-06, version 6.8.1*

The card is great, but the app, not so much. I struggle to add funds with my debit card every time. I finally resorted to using the website. The app won’t allow me to add money to my card. Very frustrating.

### 5/5 — Bill

*2025-12-08, version 6.8.1*

First time using the card and the individual at HEB were just WONDERFUL. Thanks Bill

### 1/5 — This App Needs Work

*2025-09-18, version 6.8.1*

Nothing in the mobile app on iOS works properly, you have to restart the app to do almost everything. If you get timed out, and open the app again without restarting it the login screen will load for infinity, same when you enable Face ID or other biometrics. THE BIGGEST ISSUE is that you have to restart the app every time you want to refresh your transactions, moving to another tab and going back does not refresh anything, pulling down, nothing, this is an incredibly frustrating experience coming from much better banks but am stuck with this now. =(

### 5/5 — Heb debit

*2025-09-01, version 6.8.1*

Love this app

### 1/5 — Never works proper

*2025-08-27, version 6.8.1*

Every time I try to transfer money, it doesn’t work. The app will just continue to load but never actually load.

### 1/5 — Constant bugs

*2025-08-01, version 6.8.1*

The app constantly freezes when I try to transfer money. I have to uninstall and reinstall it multiple times every time I want to put money on my HEB card.

### 2/5 — Transfer Option not working

*2025-08-01, version 6.8.1*

Basically this app is only good for checking your balance. Transfer worked the first few times and completely stopped working after. Get stuck in the confirmation popup that is blank.

### 1/5 — I love HEB but hate this app

*2025-07-28, version 6.8.1*

Heb is amazing. The high yield savings offered with this is amazing. But this app keeps crashing. It’s basically a lucky draw of “am I gonna be able to access this app and do what I need to do”. 
Hopefully they fix this cuz as of right now it’s worth it for me to stick around but not for long.

### 2/5 — Potential

*2025-07-21, version 6.8.1*

App has potential to be good but isn’t. HEB makes too much money for this app not to work properly most of the time. It either doesn’t open or is down in general most of the time. When it works, it’s cool but most of the time it doesn’t work…do better

### 5/5 — Very convenient

*2025-07-16, version 6.8.1*

Love the money back and I don’t have to use a gift card and i can transfer money at any time of day.

### 1/5 — Frequent account blocks

*2026-05-20, version 6.8.1*

I love HEB. But this card is managed by Netspend. And it is super sensitive so that every time I try to transfer money to it so that I can buy groceries I have to call Netspend to get the account unlocked. I have a side gig that I also use this card for direct deposit so it’s very scary when they lock you out for no reason. The cash back is nice but it’s my recommendation that people only add the amount they are going to spend at HEB and to not put any more of your money on it than you need to buy your groceries. Don’t use it for direct deposit because you risk losing your money.

### 1/5 — Can’t add funds

*2026-05-14, version 6.8.1*

I want to use this debit account so badly so I can utilize the 5% cash back and be able to set aside money for groceries, but unfortunately I’ve never successfully added funds. Over the course of months I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app and removed my payment method and re-added it several times.

### 1/5 — It doesn't work

*2026-03-25, version 6.8.1*

The application hasn't been working for several days

### 1/5 — H

*2026-03-22, version 6.8.1*

It keeps lagging and don't  let me transfer money to H‑E‑B card , may need to check for bugs or something

### 1/5 — The worst customer service

*2026-01-17, version 6.8.1*

I love heb that being said this card is a nightmare for me. I can’t get ahold of a human most of the time because they hang up on me if the automated system doesn’t first. When I was able to though the once they claimed to fix my issue but never did. Horrible experience please switch to someone else.

### 1/5 — Was great until it wasn’t

*2025-12-08, version 6.8.1*

I’ve been using the H-E-B debit card for three years now and love the cashback that it gives because I tend to buy H-E-B products anyway since I used to be a partner there. However, for the past month, I have made quite a few big purchases for holiday shopping and my son‘s first birthday and have missed out on big cashback savings because the ability to add funds to the card just stopped working for me. I’ve tried contacting support and they’ve just told me what the app already told me. That my app may not be fully updated, but I have already tried deleting and redownloading but nothing has allowed me to add funds to my debit card. Even tried ordering a new card and the same error STILL pops up. This app is now useless to me.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2025-11-25, version 6.8.1*

I called customer service twice now because I can’t transfer money over to the card. I’ve been told to update the new version but nowhere on the app does it give me the option to update. So, I’ve been stuck not able to use my card for months now, and lost many opportunities to save!

### 1/5 — Can’t transfer money

*2025-11-09, version 6.8.1*

Pointless to use the app when you try to transfer money it just stays stuck on the processing screen so you pretty much can’t use the card

### 1/5 — Ugh

*2025-11-07, version 6.8.1*

All of a sudden it will not let me make debit card transfers. Says I need to update app but the app is up to date.

*2026-03-04, version 6.8.1*

It’s always better always! Fresh food! The best grocers in the whole wide world! Love my HEB! Love my Texas!

### 5/5 — Transfers not going through

*2026-02-27, version 6.8.1*

I like that I get money back with almost every purchase at HEB, but transferring money through the app is frustrating when it keeps giving an error message. It shows I can transfer $500 and when I try that amount I get an error. Then I try $400. Same error message. $300 same error message. I’ve found that only a smaller amount like $200 will go through. Why????? It’s so inconvenient to have to go Customer Service to deposit because the lines are ridiculously loooooong!!! And there are no app updates available. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

### 5/5 — Convenient

*2026-02-23, version 6.8.1*

The HEB debit card is easy to use. Transfer money within minutes.

### 5/5 — Enjoy my H‑E‑B

*2026-02-05, version 6.8.1*

### 5/5 — MY HEB

*2025-12-28, version 6.8.1*

Love MY HEB every thing about is the best. HEB is the best I have had only a few troubled times with the app. As far as trying to transfer from my personal bank to HEB debit. Not sure what the issue Is there. It just gets stuck on a load screen. Other than that everything is great.

### 5/5 — The Best!
