### 2/5 — Cannot log and no notification of an issue

*2026-08-29, version 3.14.1*

Manulife never issues a notification of an outage until I call in then I talk to a pile of reps and they have no clue what is going on talk about wasting a customers time only to be the first person to tell
Them they have an issue.

### 4/5 — Copier/coller

*2026-06-26, version 3.12.5*

Dommage qu’il ne soit pas possible d’effectuer l’opération copier/coller.  Particulièrement quand on doit entrer un long numéro de compte en préparant un paiement de facture.

### 3/5 — $10 Min Etransfer???

*2026-03-20, version 3.12.2*

Why are EMTs min $10?

### 3/5 — Deposit

*2026-03-01, version 3.12.1*

### 1/5 — Constant App Errors

*2025-12-13, version 3.11.4*

1. Asks for secure code via every time I open the app and use face ID
2. Recent update doesnt allow to copy text into the app (i.e. the secure code it constantly asks for, or the msg section of an etransfer)

Very Frustrating!

### 2/5 — Not working with iOS 26.1

### 3/5 — Wire transfer link not working

*2025-11-06, version 3.11.3*

When I try to do a wire transfer through the app, the app freezes. Have tried everything to fix it on my end, but seems to be a bug in the app. Please fix it.

### 1/5 — App

*2026-08-30, version 3.14.1*

We travel often.  We use Manulife as a way to save sending E-transfers to our account with Manulife.  There are often disruptions with the app and it can take days before the transfer can take place.  This is a huge problem for those who travel.  The app should work at ALL times.  We are tired of the whole situation.

### 1/5 — Terribly frustrating

*2026-08-28, version 3.14.0*

App won’t open. Go to sign in, user name and password accepted but won’t fully sign in.

### 1/5 — Issue with v3.14

*2026-07-25, version 3.13.0*

Just updated to v3.13 on my iPhone 16  ios26.5.2 and the app will not launch

### 1/5 — I’m extremely disappointed with my experience.

*2026-07-24, version 3.13.0*

First, I set up automatic bill payments from my Manulife debit account to my credit card well in advance, yet the payment wasn’t processed on time. As a result, I was charged interest and, more importantly, my credit history was negatively affected. While Manulife eventually reimbursed the interest, they can’t restore the damage done to my credit score. That mistake should never have happened.

Second, the “updated” credit card rewards program is a huge downgrade. Instead of earning more rewards for using the card, I now earn significantly fewer points. To make matters worse, my points balance is actually showing as negative. Seriously? Who wants to use a credit card where the more you spend, the worse your rewards become?

Between unreliable auto-payments and a rewards program that has become far less rewarding, it’s hard to find a reason to continue using their services at all.

### 1/5 — Useless to me

*2026-06-17, version 3.11.0*

I use my iPad for mobile banking. This latest update is not compatible with my iPad so now I am reduced to banking on my iPhone or purchasing a new iPad - Thanks Manulife !

### 1/5 — God awful bank

*2026-04-03, version 3.12.2*

Absolutely horrible bank their customer service is even worse, they kept my transferred money under review for 3 months with no reason or updates, everytime I called every rep gave me different information, they flagged my money and closed my account for no reason and said they would return my money whenever they’re done with their internal review which had no date they could give either. I called and complained multiple times because they didn’t even reach out to anyone or contact my other Bank for verification or questioning. After I chased my other bank and drove them crazy and forced Manulife to escalate my situation to a supervisor they finally randomly reopened my account and “finished” their review after 6 months of toying with me. Absolutely will make an ombudsman complaint against them because now they’re ignoring my requests to even close my damn account!!!

### 1/5 — Review

*2026-03-13, version 3.12.1*

Missing notes field to add comments on transaction details

### 1/5 — Chat message box missing

*2026-03-10, version 3.12.1*

No box to input a message. Keyboard is available and functioning though. No send button either. Otherwise chat is working and chat rep is always waiting for my reply. Chat gets terminated because they think I’m gone.

### 1/5 — Do not put your money in this bank

*2026-03-09, version 3.12.1*

They literally steal your money . They stole 3,000$ from my account and no customer service rep knows what’s going on when I call them . So not put a dollar in this bank . They are thieves

### 1/5 — Wants a newer iOS

*2026-02-05, version 3.11.0*

The update now wants iOS 16 or newer even though it worked just fine on iOS 15 just yesterday. It’s sad that companies are just making e-waste because they can and we have no option but to go along if we want to access anything.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

Transaction facile

### 5/5 — Excellent and User-Friendly Banking App!

*2026-07-19, version 3.12.5*

This app is incredibly user-friendly for managing daily finances and savings. The interface is clean and intuitive, making it seamless to check balances, transfer funds, and deposit checks. Best of all, it’s super easy to track promotional interest rates and high-interest savings growth right from my phone. It makes banking hassle-free—highly recommended!

### 5/5 — Clear App

*2026-07-11, version 3.12.5*

It’s pretty easy to use, layout is simple.

### 5/5 — Deposit

Easy and fast

### 5/5 — App download

*2026-05-23, version 3.12.4*

The app requires an update but, when I click on go to App Store there is no update and the app will not open. 
It just loops back to app requires an updated.

### 5/5 — live chat

*2026-04-03, version 3.12.2*

can we have the ability to turn off the floating Live Chat button? it keeps coming back after being dismissed.

### 5/5 — It forced me to use password manager autofill

*2025-12-16, version 3.11.4*

Ok, I admit it is better than cut and paste from password manager

### 5/5 — The Manulife Bank has exceptional service and I love that

*2025-10-14, version 3.11.2*

Always more than fair and wonderful to deal with

### 5/5 — What is going on??

*2025-10-06, version 3.11.2*

Just got latest version of this otherwise stable app. It’s now constantly crashing!!! Not the best way to keep banking clients happy.

### 5/5 — E-transfers

*2025-09-23, version 3.11.1*

I can not make e transfers or pay bills with the app in the new OS software
