### 4/5 — Card viewable

*2026-07-11, version 2026.04*

I misplaced my card in the house and I believe it’s best Kitsap should have an option to view card information in the app like the others banks.

### 2/5 — Too much!

*2026-06-13, version 2025.10.01*

I was having a good time banking on here, until every time I log on you asked me to rate you. I rate you and then you asked me to write a review which I choose to skip, so then you ask me next time I logon to review you again. I don’t like it.

### 2/5 — Notifications are annoying

*2026-02-25, version 2025.7.2.1*

App itself is pretty solid. The alerts/notifications are annoyingly persistent and challenging to get rid of. Would be nice to have a “clear notifications” button or something similar

### 3/5 — AMAZING BANK- Less than perfect app.

*2026-02-05, version 2025.7.2.1*

I cannot say enough positive things about Kitsap Credit Union. They have veeb my bank since I was 16 and I wouldn’t have it any other way. However- for the last few months, I have been having an issue with the app that causes it to never open back up again randomly for seemingly no reason, forcing me to delete the app and redownload it again. This can be quite frustrating if I’m say, at a gas pump, or in the middle of the grocery store. Otherwise the app is incredibly user friendly and fast- but that is not particularly helpful to me if I go to use it every 2 weeks and it simply doesn’t open, forcing me to delete it, resave my password, my Face ID, etc. other than this issue, the app and bank are amazing.

### 3/5 — Always says I have unread messages

*2026-01-20, version 2025.7.2.1*

The app is fine but the message feed never removes the little notification saying I have new messages and it drives me a little bonkers. 3 stars.

### 2/5 — Notification bubble won’t go away

*2025-12-29, version 2025.7.2.1*

Since the most recent update I have had a notification from this app that I can’t clear no matter what I try. It’s driving me nuts.

### 4/5 — Easy to use

*2025-12-20, version 2025.7.2.1*

I like the simplicity of this app. It’s easy to understand how to do things without having to worry about what do I do next.

### 3/5 — Won’t open

*2025-10-08, version 2025.7.2.1*

Since their new billing upgrade/update. I have to delete the app and reload it about once a week. Have tried closing the app and resetting the phone. Only thing that works is to delete and re-download.

### 4/5 — Transfer issue

*2025-05-23, version 2025.0203.1*

I don’t like that I cannot do instant transfers from one bank to this credit union

### 3/5 — Widget disappeared.

*2024-12-01, version 2024.10*

The widget is gone. That was something I used daily. The operating system update was months ago. They’ve had probably half a year to fix the widget.

### 1/5 — I like the old app better

*2026-04-28, version 2025.7.2.1*

Check deposit not working on iPhones for a couple months now.

### 1/5 — Annoying

*2026-03-09, version 2025.7.2.1*

Notification feed won’t refresh after viewing it… I would click and get off, swipe down to refresh, and restart my phone and yet it still shows up I have 3 notifications unopened even after viewing them!

### 1/5 — Encrapificated

*2026-03-05, version 2025.7.2.1*

Update: their live service chat now has a moronic generative AI bot to push past which takes a lot to get it to give you a real person. And then the real person doesn’t help you with anything. 

The app was great. Then they decided to change it like 5 times. Now it’s clunky, buggy, and what’s worse, it has notification badges 24/7. And they are just advertisements. Trying to sell you stuff. And even if you view it, it doesn’t clear the notification badge. Permanent advertisement harassment. I hate it.

### 1/5 — Turned my simple business login to difficult

*2026-03-01, version 2025.7.2.1*

Thanks developers!  You really messed this up.  Now when I start the app and use touch id to login, i go into the last login i used and HALF THE TIME its not the business/personal login i need… i have to click several times to find logout, logout, then i get the opportunity to select my other user (business v.s. personal account).  It was much easier before, simply selecting personal or business icons. SHEESH

### 1/5 — Message feed notifications

*2026-02-12, version 2025.7.2.1*

Message feed notifications don't go away after reading messages.

### 1/5 — This App is Trash

*2026-01-23, version 2025.7.2.1*

Getting statements, depositing checks and connecting to my SAP has been a nightmare.

### 1/5 — New KCU app update

*2025-09-25, version 2025.7.2.1*

What have you done!?!
 This new update/ upgrade has made this app completely unusable! It’s now confusing and difficult to navigate. WAY too MANY ads! Absolutely hate it! Way to over complicate something that was working fine! And since logging in on the app now it won’t let me login online!! Extremely frustrating and disappointing experience!

### 1/5 — APP

*2025-07-24, version 2025.5.0.1*

Lately the past 2 weeks the app closes down after receiving and inputting the security code for complete a Zelle transfer.

### 1/5 — Trash!!!!!!!

*2025-04-28, version 2025.0203.1*

Why does this bank exist

### 1/5 — Shady

*2025-02-19, version 2024.10.2*

My experience with Kitsap Credit Union has been absolutely terrible. The customer service is a joke—either the representatives have zero experience dealing with people, or they know exactly what they’re doing but completely lack basic sympathy.

Beyond that, Kitsap Credit Union blatantly takes advantage of its customers with predatory overdraft fees—fees that, in some cases, feel downright criminal. It makes me wonder if they’re scrambling to squeeze every last dollar out of people before the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s new overdraft fee limits take effect in October 2025.

Either way, I’ll be closing my account soon, and I’ll make sure to warn everyone I know to steer clear of shady institutions like Kitsap Credit Union. If you value your money, take it elsewhere.

I don’t want to rate and review the app every time I open it

### 5/5 — Good app

*2026-03-18, version 2025.7.2.1*

I like the app and all the features.  I would give five stars but the alerts about offers that won’t go away no matter what you do drive me nuts!!

### 5/5 — Superb App!

*2026-03-07, version 2025.7.2.1*

Ya all are stone cold righteous banker dudezzzz!  Keep it rockin'!!! 😎

### 5/5 — One year with Kitsap Credit Union

*2026-01-31, version 2025.7.2.1*

I’ve just had a really great experience over the last year with Kitsap Credit Union. The staff is great here. They’ve gone over and above when I’ve needed help with certain things. Especially ordering pennies. I really appreciate Dave and Debbie especially. They’ve helped me a lot.

### 5/5 — Red things don't go away

*2026-01-20, version 2025.7.2.1*

Red notification circles don't go away after you read the mass mails they put in your message feed. Everything else is great.

### 5/5 — Hate the update

*2026-01-01, version 2025.7.2.1*

The new update is annoying. It adds an extra step to signing in and is not as user friendly.

They have helped me so much in building my credit! This has been such an amazing credit union!!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2024-11-27, version 2024.10*

I’ve had dealings with other banking apps before in the past. But Kitsap Credit union is by part of the best I’ve ever used. Thank you.
