### 2/5 — Reset password issue

*2026-07-19, version 26.0.1*

Here’s a clearer and more effective version for an app store review:

The app keeps asking me to use my old phone to reset my password. The problem is my old phone was completely destroyed, which is why I had to get a replacement in the first place. Now I’m trying to restore my apps, but I can’t even reset my password because it requires access to the old device. This recovery process is frustrating and completely useless for anyone whose phone is lost, stolen, or broken.

### 3/5 — New app

*2026-07-06, version 26.0.1*

I don’t like the new app format because it is difficult to find things that were easy before

### 3/5 — Application

*2026-06-05, version 26.0.1*

I liked the old one better, thus i have to scroll more to get to what I’m looking for and  hard to see what new charges are on the MC.

### 2/5 — Mortgage link through the website doesn’t work

*2026-05-21, version 26.0.1*

### 5/5 — Join Now

*2026-04-27, version 26.0.1*

### 5/5 — OCCU

*2026-04-24, version 26.0.1*

I have been a member at this credit union for over 20 years and have always been so happy and satisfied with their services and would highly recommend them to anyone that’s looking for great service and a pleasant banking experiences.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — New app sucks!!!!

*2026-07-05, version 26.0.1*

The new app doesn’t show available balance when there are pending transactions. it also always asks for a text verification when logging in. The transactions are all cramped up unlike the older version was very easy, and self explanatory.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t match online instructions

*2026-06-09, version 26.0.1*

The app is terrible.  The online site says I can use the app to activate a new card and to sign up for Zelle.  Neither option is available on my iPad.  Also, the new app makes it more difficult to track and search for older transactions.  I’ve consider switching to a different bank but I’ve been with the credit union since 1991.  This app is definitely a downgrade from previous apps.

### 1/5 — App Update Limits Connectivity

*2026-04-29, version 26.0.1*

The updated app limits account connectivity to Plaid which every other bank, credit union, financial institution use to connect accounts through the Plaid portal. First it took years for OCCU to join the 21st century and offer Zelle, now connectivity to Plaid is not supported. Great place to bank if you’re looking for a pre internet era type of bank. If you’re looking for a competitive product that offers connectivity available in 2026, look elsewhere. Other credit unions and even the big banks offer a better banking experience than OCCU.

### 1/5 — I hate this bank

*2026-03-30, version 26.0.1*

Customer service is bad. 90 min wait times and the automated phone service takes 20 minutes to run through just to use the call back feature. Stop making people sit on the phone going through very stupid options that hang up on you and end the call half the time. Also this place leaves pending deposits going for at least 3 days in a row. Regular banks would have released it by now. I hate Orange county’s credit union so much.

### 1/5 — Not it

*2026-03-19, version 26.0.1*

This update feels like a downgrade. The old version felt modern and smooth, and now the new version feels like going backward. It’s slower, more cluttered with pop ups, and the design just doesn’t feel as good. Definitely preferred how it was before.

### 1/5 — New upgrade is not good

*2026-03-19, version 26.0.1*

Honestly don’t know why they app needed an update it was simple and easier for older generations to use not it more complicated and has so many issues ! The app is also asking me to verify I’m identity but there is not option for verification method ! So I can’t even access my accounts 
:(

### 1/5 — New App is awful

*2026-03-18, version 26.0.1*

This CU has gone downhill as of late and the new software reflects that.  I’m really tired of organizations using their lifeblood as beta testers. I’m going to start looking for another bank.

### 1/5 — New app update

*2026-03-16, version 26.0.1*

Them changing there app is so inconvenient and annoying.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2026-03-14, version 26.0.1*

They just “updated” their app but it’s really a downgrade. It’s like a website. I don’t understand what was wrong with the last app it worked fine and was easy to use. They also removed a feature that was very helpful that allowed you to freeze your card yourself! Oh also! They charge you $29 per overdraft item even if it’s like $1! How insane is that? After 8 years I’ve had enough of this credit union. I’ll be leaving soon. Look elsewhere for your baking needs.

### 1/5 — New Update

*2026-03-13, version 26.0.1*

I’m really not happy with this new update. All of my external accounts were deleted so I can’t move my money without setting it up again. My transfer to my external account was deleted so my money wasn’t moved on schedule and I have to set that up again as well. Please do better! SMH

### 5/5 — Thankful

*2026-08-12, version 26.0.1*

Dependable and reliable and trustworthy. Thank you OCCU .

### 5/5 — My bank of choice

*2026-08-02, version 26.0.1*

After experiencing Orange County’s Credit Union firsthand, I can confidently say I don’t see myself ever needing another financial institution. From the moment you walk in, you’re treated like a valued member—not just another account number.

The level of service is exceptional. The team is knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely focused on helping members achieve their financial goals. Whether it’s everyday banking, auto loans, mortgages, or business banking, every interaction has been professional, efficient, and personalized.

Their rates are consistently competitive, the lending process is straightforward, and the technology makes managing my finances simple and convenient. It’s refreshing to work with an organization that puts members first rather than shareholders.

What stands out most is the culture. You can tell the employees truly care about delivering an outstanding experience, and that commitment is reflected in every interaction. It’s rare to find a financial institution that combines outstanding service, great products, competitive rates, and a genuine commitment to the community.

If you’re looking for a trusted financial partner, I highly recommend Orange County’s Credit Union. They’ve earned my confidence, and I genuinely feel like I have everything I need in one place. I honestly can’t imagine banking anywhere else.
