### 3/5 — New Debit Card

*2026-07-14*

My husband’s debit card was compromised, he went into the bank and had a card reissued.  However the card does not appear on the Dashboard the old one is still there stating stolen, but not the new one?   Trying to figure out how to put the new one on the Dashboard is impossible!

**Developer response:** We're sorry for the frustration. Replacement cards should normally appear in your Dashboard once they're fully linked to your account. Please contact our customer support team at service@mountainwestbank.com or call 208-765-0284 so we can review your account and help get the new card displayed correctly. We appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to assist.

### 2/5 — Works great when it’s working

*2025-12-16*

Accounts often won’t update and give an error message. This probly happens about once or twice a week. App is always updated, latest iOS etc and often have to resort to using the website to access up to date account info. App works awesome when it’s working though.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the update errors. If you continue to experience problems, please contact us at service@mountainwestbank.com or call 208-765-0284.

### 3/5 — Review

*2025-11-10, version 3.28.0*

Checking amount total does not update or has trouble with the correct amount in the checking account. The old app did not have this problem. Fix this please!

### 5/5 — Super

*2025-09-17*

Love the ladies and my branch! And the convenience of being able to take a picture and deposit checks when I’m running late is amazing. Direct deposit really helps a busy person out.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear you love your branch and the amazing team there. It’s great to know that mobile check deposit and direct deposit are making life a little easier for your busy schedule. We’re always here to support you—we truly appreciate your business!

### 5/5 — Great Bank

*2025-08-14, version 3.26.0*

I’ve always had a great experience with Mountain West the last 9 years

### 5/5 — Deposit process could be improved

*2025-04-19*

I use the app pretty frequently and it is intuitive for the most part. No problems with functionality or availability. The one improvement I would like to see is the placement within the deposit process of the message that tells what needs to be part of the endorsement. I have a few banking apps I use and they are all different. Because the message is on the third screen in, where I take a picture of the back of the check, I always end up having to cancel the deposit at that point, endorse the check and start over. It’s annoying. Move the endorsement message to the first screen!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review. We're continually striving to improve our digital experience and your feedback is just what we need to keep making it better. We truly appreciate your business! If you would like to discuss this further,  please email service@mountainwestbank.com or call 1-800-641-5401.

### 5/5 — great app!

*2025-04-19, version 3.22.0*

Fantastic service! Wow! A+++

### 5/5 — Banking for real people

*2025-04-10*

Mountain West (Hayden branch).  Feels like banking for real people.  I’ve been very happy with their service and personal treatment.  Used them for business banking prior to selling the company and they were excellent with my business needs also.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the kind review! We truly appreciate your business! From, Your Friends at Mountain West Bank

### 5/5 — Much better than it was

*2025-03-18*

Thank you. Please make it so the instructions don’t cover up 1/3 of the screen every time I go to deposit a check. Maybe the instructions only need to appear the first one or two times I use the deposit feature.

**Developer response:** We are happy to hear that you are enjoying the new app! We appreciate your business!

### 5/5 — App isn’t working

*2025-02-22, version 3.20.0*

I try to go into the app and it says finishing download. I can’t even get into the app for two days now.

### 1/5 — App is Garbage

*2026-07-24*

I never write reviews for apps, but this one is so terrible that it warrants it. 75% of the time when I go to check my balances, I get errors saying I can’t check my accounts. Sometimes the errors don’t clear after a couple of days, or if I change WiFi/cellular connections, and I just have to wait. Why do I even bother? I’m gonna just go back to pen and paper to keep track of everything because this might be one of the worst apps I’ve ever used. Does it get updated? Is anyone working on it? Apparently not, because it just straight up does not work most of the time.

**Developer response:** We’re sorry to hear about the ongoing issues you’ve experienced when accessing your account balances. We understand how frustrating it is when the app isn’t available when you need it most. Our team is actively working to improve stability and reliability, and feedback like yours helps us identify and prioritize these issues. If you haven’t already, please contact our customer support team at service@mountainwestbank.com or call 208-765-0284 so we can investigate your specific experience and help resolve the connection problems. We appreciate your patience and the opportunity to do better.

### 1/5 — The app after dark

*2026-06-03, version 3.30.2*

I really dislike the fact that the app stops updating at night.  I’ve deposited electronically several hundred dollars into my account and the app will not update to show the deposits.  I feel that, in this day and age, we should be able to see automatic updates.

### 1/5 — Don’t Bank Here

*2025-12-11*

There’s been an issue with mountain west each month if not more than one a month for the last year with transfers from one account to another within mountain west not posting timely (personal accounts not transferring timely), deposits not showing or showing then being denied days later, the available amount not being accurate and transactions denied even when more than the funds needed are there, the login portal being down 3-4 times this year and outside of that when the portal login works the app or site states it is unable to show accurate funds. The site frequently says down for maintenance. It’s been a whole mess! For such a big bank I don’t understand how the whole system is so broken or how they’ve opened new branches around me. I have accounts with other banks none of which ever have these issues. Other mountain west members have had the same issues as me and want to leave … maybe instead of funding new branches mountain west should pay to fix their online baking.

**Developer response:** We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you’ve experienced with account transfers, deposits, and online banking access. Your concerns are very important to us. We are committed to providing reliable and secure banking services, and we recognize that these issues have fallen short of your expectations. We would appreciate the opportunity to review your specific concerns and assist you directly. Please contact us at service@mountainwestbank.com or call 208-765-0284.

### 1/5 — Bill pay

*2025-10-13, version 3.27.0*

You are not paying bills that were on ACH since you took over Bank of Idaho.  Considering closing all our accounts

### 1/5 — Verification doesn’t work

*2025-08-21, version 3.26.1*

Title

### 1/5 — App no good

*2025-07-14*

I used the old app through Glacier it was a whole lot more easy to use. Since I have had the new app, first I couldn’t download it. Then when I called in it finally downloaded and it was good for a little. Today it wouldn’t let me in my accounts. I called and they told me to delete the app and download it again. It still won’t let me use it. Keeps telling me it has an error.

**Developer response:** Hi, 
We are sorry to hear about your negative experience with our app. We understand how frustrating it is to not be able to access your accounts. We know you have already called us, but we would love the opportunity to get this issue fixed for you. If you are willing, please contact us at service@mountainwestbank.com or call 1-800-641-5401.

### 1/5 — Over draft fees

*2025-04-25*

Why don’t you cancel auto payments for overdraft. Also no cash deposits available on weekends. I got charged 180 in overdraft fees that were auto pay not charges. I much rather you cancel payment than charge me 30 dollars a time for charges that are between 10-20 dollars that are auto paid. Please have a better option. Also is there any way to refund those overdraft fees seems very expensive and I’m thinking about changing banks

**Developer response:** Hello, we're sorry to hear about your negative experience. We are unable to discuss account information online. Please reach out to us so that we can discuss what's going on, service@mountainwestbank.com or call 1-800-641-5401. Thank you, From Your Friends at Mountain West Bank

*2025-03-23, version 3.21.0*

### 2/5 — Please fix this:(

*2026-07-29*

I never write reviews literally ever, but this app has been unreliable. I open the app, it shows the logo, and then just the background of trees. Doesn’t load my login info. I haven’t been able to see my bank account info since the last app update. Please fix this.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, and we're sorry for the frustration this has caused. We understand how important reliable access to your account information is. We're actively investigating reports like yours. Please contact our customer support team at service@mountainwestbank.com or call 208-765-0284 so we can assist further.
