### 4/5 — Review

*2026-07-13*

Great financial establishment been with MSDFCU for over fifteen years. However the phone number has been cloned and I often get calls from scammers on the main phone line. Wish that could be corrected.

### 3/5 — Decent App Needs A Dark Mode!

*2026-02-21*

Please Add a Dark Mode!  This is my only app without it. I don’t like the white background. :(

### 2/5 — Bill pay not easy

*2023-05-23*

Not only did this app hide electronic check deposit beneath menus, bill pay is no longer intuitive. Not great if everything one tries to do takes three or four minutes to figure out. It sometimes feels a bit like using early versions of MS windows from a decade ago.

### 2/5 — VERY unstable app

*2021-01-28, version 20.2.60*

This app is down more than it's up. Half the time I try to open it I get an error message saying "We're sorry but we can validate your credentials. Please try again later. Of course this always happens when I REALLY need it to work. EXTREMELY ANNOYING!!!!!

### 2/5 — Auto capture camera feature adds complexity

*2019-02-09, version 18.3.70*

Provide easier method to take manual photos

### 1/5 — Horrible UX

*2018-11-01, version 18.2.70*

Really bad user experience, this app feels like it’s from 2012.

### 1/5 — New app is not functional

*2018-10-13*

The old app worked great on my phone.  The new app does not take my password.  This makes it impossible to login.  I am trying to login on an iPhone XS Max with IOS 12. Perhaps there is a compatibility issue?  This needs to be fixed please.  And yes I have contacted the helpline and have deleted and reloaded the app several times.  This is not an issue with my login as I can login on the web no problem and the old app works perfectly on my iPad as I have not updated it.

### 1/5 — Not Secure - Don’t Publish This

*2018-08-20*

This is a terribly insecure app - with defaults which make it easy to hack or guess full acct number. Please change this immediately!

Why is acct number almost a complete autofill?  You should NEVER reveal how many digits in acct number?  And ALL GOOD APPS - if the do autofill, it is only the end, not beginning, of the field. Anyone familiar with MST accounts could easily guess the full account number especially since it’s all numerical.

Please improve the security of this app I will not use it because of the risks.

### 1/5 — Where is the deposit option????

*2018-08-11, version 18.1.76*

If you call, a rep will tell you a mobile deposit from the app is possible but they don’t know how. If you search online, you will see tutorials showing the bottom banner with a deposit button but when you open the app, NO DEPOSIT option...!!!???!!

### 1/5 — I can not even see my bank balance.

*2018-05-15, version 18.1.76*

This app does nothing. I can not even see my bank balance. But now it gives me my credit scor which I don't want.

### 3/5 — Needs one feature to make 5*

*2016-12-06*

MSDFCU has been great to me for two decades. This app is simple and straightforward. The mobile check deposit feature has saved me countless trips to a branch. It never giving me a single problem...except....that I choose to use complex passwords that are impossible to memorize. I have been locked out of my account several times. Each time (usually after hours), I have to wait to contact the bank the next day and reset all my passwords. Please, please, please enable the Touch ID for this app. My fingerprint is much more secure and so much easier to use than the piece of paper with my password that I need to carry around with a ton of random characters. I pray that the next update will allow me to post a 5 star review for this feature upgrade!!

### 1/5 — Was great and then they upgraded

*2023-06-23*

Since they upgraded a few months ago ebills has not been working properly. The new bill paying process is difficult and time consuming. Once you have actually managed to pay a bill it often displays on your activity and statement that you have paid the money to someone else. I love the bank and bill paying was quick and easy before the “upgrade”.  I have called them many times and apparently they are”working on it”. I’m opening an account with another bank so that I can pay bills easily.

### 1/5 — Needs an update!

*2023-02-02*

This app stopped working months ago and says there’s an issue with my login. But I can log in just fine on the website, so it’s an app issue only. It’s incredibly frustrating because it’s obviously a common issue across users and it’s been months like this. Please fix for us!

### 1/5 — Will not work at all on multiple phones

*2022-10-26, version 22.1.100*

Just says a error has occured and to call for assistance. Tried on multiple different phones with different software and only 1 worked that hasnt been updated in a while. Extremely annoying

### 1/5 — This app just does NOT work

*2022-06-16, version 21.3.40*

I’ve used this app before on my old Android phone, and it did its job well. However, after switching to my iPhone(~7 months ago), I have not been able to get this app to access my account ONCE. It either tells me that it can’t verify my credentials or it tells me to call the Call Center. Doing the latter just ends up with a customer service rep telling me there’s no issue with my login information, and that I’m not locked out. As I live outside the U.S., not having the ability to deposit a check could end up as a big issue should the need ever arise. Please fix the app.

### 1/5 — Works when it wants to

*2022-02-22, version 21.2.70*

I would say about 25% of the time, the app locks and will not acknowledge account and password or simply won’t respond. I have to delete and reload at least once a week.

### 1/5 — Has not worked for months

*2021-12-10, version 21.2.70*

Even after updating my phone and iOS to the latest model and version, I am still unable to log in

### 1/5 — Need update

*2021-04-05, version 20.2.80*

Was working now it isn’t. Keeps saying “we are unable to validate your information...”. 
I have to go on the actual website in order to log on the my account since the app isn’t working. Really annoying!!

### 1/5 — Revert Update 20.2.60

*2020-12-30, version 20.2.60*

iPhone SE is having connection issues with update 20.2.60 and not allowing login to app. Please make update 20.1.200  available for redownload.

### 1/5 — Unfunctionable

*2020-09-19, version 20.1.200*

I cannot use my mobile phone anymore which is causing me misery, grief and headaches.There goes another useless app for me when I’m on the go!

### 1/5 — App is not working in iPhone 11

*2020-05-20, version 19.3.20*

I have recently upgraded my phone from iPhone6 to iPhone 11. The app was working fine in iPhone 6 but it’s not working in iPhone 11 (the authentication is keep failing)

### 5/5 — Great Bank

*2023-06-13*

I have banked with several banks and I can say with complete honestly Merck is hands down the best. They do not nickel and dime you and charge fees for things that you were told wouldn’t… not like WF or BOA… The members at the branch treat you like family and remember your name and children(s) name. This type of service is slowly fading away, and it is so nice to see an institution follow an old school approach.

### 5/5 — Love it❣️

*2023-05-21*

I just love all my stuff at a glance easy access and easy to navigate thanks for the great upgrade 🙌♥️

### 5/5 — MSDFCU APP

*2023-05-11*

Has much improved in terms of clear screens and size of the display.
It works flawlessly.

### 5/5 — 10 / 10 👏👏👏👏👏

*2023-04-14*

Round of applause for everyone who had a part in the new updates in the app. Everything about it is totally on point. The login process is super quick, the layout is beautiful. You guys totally nailed it.

### 5/5 — Amazing upgrade

*2023-04-11*

This ap is so easy to use and it looks great! Way to go!!

### 5/5 — Mobile deposit still doesn’t work

*2021-03-07*

They keep pushing me to use mobile deposit on my checks, but it either says that I took two pictures of the front (I didn’t) or that it can’t read the signature. Great for getting a quick view of my accounts, but absolutely useless for deposits.

### 5/5 — Doesn’t work

*2021-01-13*

After updating to iOS 14 this app no longer works. I’ve deleted and re-added, reset my phone settings, and waved a dead chicken around. Nothing. Just gets the loading screen and never moves on. So frustrating.

### 5/5 — ios 10 not supported

*2019-09-16*

Some people are still using ios 10 and the new update just prevents us from using the app. This makes me upset, as I've been a loyal member since the day I started banking.

**Developer response:** We value your loyalty and are sorry you are having compatibility issues. 

As you know Apple recommends that you upgrade your iOS to receive the benefits of bug fixes, security updates, and new features. But Apple also requires developers, including ours to release new versions if a bug or a “safety issue” is discovered. Not to mention adding exciting new features that make Mobile Banking more efficient and powerful. 

We can not change the app, but we are here to serve you in a variety of ways, online banking, telephone banking, in-person or through the call center. Please reach out to us, and we will be glad to help in any way possible.

### 5/5 — Alex’s recommendation

*2019-02-12, version 18.3.70*

Love app but as a member 
Would suggest NOT sending 
Thru USPS an overdraft notice. 
Could be done via email. 
I use my HELOC extensively 
I must get $300 worth of unnecessary 
notices every year.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2016-08-04, version 6.0.1716*

Mobile banking is very useful, saves me time and effort
